Bikes for Kids

The annual Variety Bikes for Kids Tour is part of the Variety Kids on the Move mobility programme, which provides life-enriching assistance to Kiwi kids.  Each year Variety provides around 450 deserving or disadvantaged children with the freedom and independence of their very own bike.

Each year we change our tour route so we can reach different regions of New Zealand.  Schools and communities in each area are invited to participate by nominating a deserving child to receive a bike.

To receive a bike a child needs to be:

- Aged between 7 and 9 years (between 111 cm and 135 cm tall)
- A role model to other children OR
- A child who has consistently made a difference within their school and community environments and has shown an outstanding ability to assist those around them OR
- Socio-economically disadvantaged, with their family not in a position to purchase a bike OR
- Have recently overcome some adverse circumstances.

For $200 you can buy a Kiwi kid their very own bike and helmet. Please make a donation to Variety's Bikes for Kids programme.

Variety would like to thank its Bikes for Kids sponsors, without whom, this programme simply wouldn't be possible.
