We provide practical help
With over 1.5million children living with disabilities and over 4million children living in poverty in the UK, our work is more important than ever.
Our programmes
Whether we supply a grant for a wheelchair, specialist equipment, a Sunshine Coach, a Variety Great Day Out, or work experience through Access Interns, our programmes give children the equipment and opportunities they need to thrive.
