Is your child in need of assistance?

At Variety, we believe that every child deserves the same opportunities for a happy, healthy childhood. We know that sometimes when kids experience disadvantage, disability and illness, not all their needs are met.

We support kids in need through...

GRANTS

Variety grants a range of items to provide practical help for individuals and organisations in need. Grants are available for medical and mobility supplies/equipment, technology, therapy, medical assestments, educational resources, sensory equipment, and more.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Variety Heart Scholarships support kids with an existing talent across the arts, music and sport. The program supports children who are disadvantaged or living with disability, to achieve their full potential and to follow their dreams.

KIDS' EXPERIENCES

Variety brings joy to children in need and encourages engagement with their community by holding exciting Kids’ Experiences. These events allow kids to have fun, meet new people and participate in new experiences.

Welcome to

I am thrilled to welcome everyone to the inaugural Source Kids Disability Expo in Adelaide. We are so excited to be bringing this event to SA for the first time.

The expo will showcase over 100 product and service providers giving young people with disability and their families, carers and professionals the opportunity to discover and try products, as well as talk and connect with providers.

We have some amazing interactive zones within our expo, making it the perfect day out for the whole family. These zones include our Active, Virtual Reality and Screen Zone, as well as a Sensory Zone which includes a Silent Disco and also a place to relax. And of course we have our Stage with an incredible line up of entertainment, including the Tiptoe Giants, Phoenix Cheer and Dance, Bumblebee Yoga and much more!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Source Kids team, for their relentless enthusiasm and passion in making this event such a wonderful success. I would also like to acknowledge and thank our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and performers for their support. Without these wonderful businesses and individuals, we could not have delivered such a comprehensive and inclusive event.

I hope that everyone enjoys the expo and has the opportunity to explore, find, test, connect and be inspired by what is on offer.
