WICCI is on Holiday

As we reach the end of 2025, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported WICCI throughout the year.

To each and every person who has walked through our doors, and to those we’ve supported from afar — thank you for trusting us. To everyone who has fundraised on our behalf, your generosity makes such a difference. To our incredible team of therapists, who support people in so many meaningful ways, we are deeply grateful. And to our dedicated Board of Trustees, thank you for your guidance and unwavering commitment to the charity.

We appreciate every single one of you more than words can say.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you in 2026! 🎅🎄
