Variety the Childrens Charity of Tasmania Tent 78 Inc

Variety the Children's Charity Tasmania- Tent 78 was founded in 1990 and gained international Tent status in 1998.

With the help of dedicated volunteers, and generous individual and corporate supporters, Variety offers freedom, care and a future to children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs. 

Freedom, through equipment providing mobility to those who need it most. Care, through the provision of medical assistance and family support and Future by supporting kids in educational, sporting or artistic endeavours and experiences.

Variety provides grants to individuals and organisations for a great number of items such as special wheelchairs, vocal output speech devices, prosthetic limbs, special play equipment and liberty swings.

We give grants to hospitals, we provide Sunshine Coaches to special schools and organisations so that kids can get out and about in the sunshine and experience life and we also provide children special experiences such as parties and adventure camps to give them opportunities that able bodied kids may take for granted.

Variety raises funds from a number of sources, from corporate partnership, to events, to donations - and to date we have delivered over $160 million net to help Australia’s sick, disadvantaged and disabled children.
