This year brought on unprecedented financial pressure for families experiencing disadvantage or caring for a child with chronic illness or disability. There are many ways, big and small, you can help families in need this Christmas.

The Western Australian charity for children is asking the community to show their support with the Variety WA Christmas Appeal. Donations will help give children with a disability or illness the opportunity to attend the Variety Christmas party. 

“The Variety Christmas party is an unforgettable day of fun where WA children living with serious illness, disadvantage or disability get the chance to simply enjoy being a kid, in an inclusive setting,” Variety WA chief executive officer Chris Chatterton said. 

“For many families with a child who have a disability, they face significant additional costs of medical care, therapies, and specialised equipment, making it even harder to provide the fun extras that can help make Christmas magical,” he added.
