There are so many ways to get involved with Variety – the Children’s Charity. You can volunteer, join an event, fundraise your own way, give through your workplace, or even donate your hair.

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 NT helps a child thrive.

Fundraising isn’t just about money — it’s about giving NT 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.

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 Northern Territory.

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 NT children while building a workplace culture grounded in care, connection and shared purpose.

Reward yourself

Join an Event
Joining a Variety NT event is a fun and rewarding way to connect with others while making a real difference for local children.

From iconic motoring adventures and community challenges to special events and gala evenings, every event brings people together with a shared purpose — helping Northern Territory kids access the support and opportunities they deserve. Wherever you get involved, you’ll be part of a passionate community creating real impact across our state.

Lets do great things together

Become a Corporate Partner
Together, we can empower every child across Northern Territory to dream, achieve and thrive.

As a corporate partner, your business can make a meaningful local impact through sponsorships, workplace giving, cause-related campaigns and event partnerships — while engaging your team and customers in something truly rewarding. Let’s work together to create brighter, barrier-free futures for Northern Territory children.

Life changing

Donate Your Hair
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.

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 Northern Territory.

Every gift, big or small, helps children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with 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.

However you choose to help, you’re doing something extraordinary — giving kids the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve. Together, we’re creating a world where every child can thrive and belong.
