Variety grant applications open

Children’s charity Variety’s is calling for applications for assistance for children in need and child support organisations across Maribyrnong and Hobsons.

Children living with disability or those experiencing disadvantage or illness can now apply for funding opportunities through Variety.

Variety chief executive Mandy Burns said she is excited to open up this round of grants to support individuals and community groups to better support them.

“Our individual grants help kids and families facing challenges by providing them access to things like mobility equipment, communication devices, learning aids and technology,” she said.

“We also offer grants to support schools and community groups for children living with disability or disadvantage. We know for so many it’s been an incredibly challenging two years and providing much-needed assistance is something we’re very proud of.”

Variety Heart Scholarship applications are also open, which helps to enable kids to reach their full potential.

Two types of scholarships are available across the Existing Talent and Education and Technology streams.

Applications close on Sunday, September 25.
