Individual Grant from Variety children's charity

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

An Individual Grant from Variety New Zealand pays for a one-off need for essential items for your child or children.

Variety - The Children's Charity - can help you cover the cost of the things that your child needs to stay healthy, to go to school, and to take part in their community. These can be items such as beds or cots, music lessons, school camp fees, uniforms or a digital device for school if your child is aged 8 years or older.

You can apply for an Individual Grant if:
* Your child is up to 18 years old
* Your child is a NZ citizen or redsident
* Your family is finding it hard to pay the bills
