Get Involved | Variety - the Children's Charity NSW and ACT

Ways to get involved

Become a volunteer, join an event or create your own, give through your workplace or become a corporate partner… you can even donate your hair.

However you choose to help, you’ll be supporting kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability and relieving the strain from their families.

FUNdraising

Get active & challenge yourself by taking part in a sports event, host a morning tea or pledge your birthday and ask for donations instead of gifts. We’ll support you every step of the way.

Donate your hair

Take the chop and change lives! Become a hair hero and sign up to fundraise. Your hair is given a second life and made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.
