The most requested support is for the costs associated with travelling to the mainland and home energy costs, but it can be used to support many other costs too.
Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about our Social Fund

[Western Isles Cancer Care Initiative (WICCI) @wiccioffice]

How is it June?!
May was a really busy month for us, with the most applications for our Social Fund ever processed. We supported 24 applications and distributed £13,250. This seems to be the trend for the year as we have now processed 79 applications, distributing £40,750.

Our Social Fund is a vital part of our work, providing those facing a cancer diagnosis with some financial support to help with those extra costs they may be experiencing at that time - when money should be the least of their worries.
