Western Isles Community Care Forum (WICCF) was established in 1992 as a forum for Voluntary Care organisations which represent the interests of carers and users of services throughout the Western Isles.
One of our core functions is to maintain a Register of Informal Carers, so we administer projects which will be of benefit to carers.
Currently our projects include:
- Carers Trainers Project: supports carers via provision of information and training through a home visit;
- Eolas: a social group for carers;
- Fois: free self-catering accommodation;
- Personal Assistant Directory: online directory to help carers find paid support, paid for privately or via direct payments;
- Short Breaks: provision of respite grants to carers.
