Your Legacy, Their Tomorrow

Leave A Gift In Your Will
Your Will is a powerful way to care for future generations. After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to leave a gift to Variety NSW/ACT.

Every gift, big or small, helps children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with a disability to access the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve. Your legacy will live on in every smile, every new step and every child who gets the chance to thrive. Did you know a gift in your Will can have an incredible difference in the life of a child in need? Even 1% of your estate, after you’ve taken care of those closest to you, can be life-changing.

LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER

Give Through Workplace Giving
Workplace giving is a simple and powerful way for employees and employers to support children and families across NSW and the ACT.

Through small, regular pre-tax donations, your team can make a meaningful difference — one pay cycle at a time. By taking part, you’re not just donating; you’re helping create brighter futures for children while building a workplace culture grounded in care, connection and shared purpose.

Be a hero

Fundraise for Variety
From life-changing equipment like wheelchairs and communication devices to therapy, education and joyful experiences, every dollar you raise with Variety NSW/ACT helps a child thrive.

Fundraising isn’t just about money — it’s about giving kids the freedom to learn, grow and feel included, while standing beside families when they need support most. Whether your effort is big or small, it creates real change — opening doors, building confidence and helping every child belong and live without limits.

Reward yourself

Join an Event

Life changing

Take the Chop. Change Lives.
Hair with Heart is Variety’s hair donation and fundraising program, helping provide custom wigs for children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions such as alopecia, trichotillomania and other disorders.

When you donate your hair, you’re giving more than just strands — you’re giving confidence, comfort and the chance for a child to feel like themselves again. It takes around 16 to 20 ponytails to create one medical-grade wig, and every donation helps turn a simple act into something truly life-changing.
