The Variety Club Golf Society (now Variety Golf) was founded in 1965 to raise money to purchase Sunshine Coaches for disabled and disadvantaged children, helping to improve young lives every day.
To date, Variety Golf has put over 1,600 coaches on the road, averaging over 20 coaches a year. In 2022, it aims to deliver 38 Sunshine Coaches. The charity has also partnered with The Golf Trust, which helps to arrange golf lessons for disabled children at nearby golf clubs, transported in their Variety Sunshine Coach.
Having their own Sunshine Coach helps schools and care centres plan activities without worrying about the cost and timing of public transport, and knowing that wheelchair access is taken care of. A coach lets the children explore places they would otherwise never get to see.

A Sunshine Coach costs in the region of £30,000 depending on its specification. The cost for a golf club to run Golf for Disabled Children for a year is £2,000. Can you help raise money for a Sunshine Coach or persuade your club to coach disabled kids to play golf? Lots of clubs have already got on board and the charity is hopeful many more will sign up over the coming months.
