We offer a wide variety of services – our WICCI Social Fund, our range of complementary therapies, group activities and counselling services through our WICCI Centre in Stornoway and WICCI office in Balivanich, our WICCI Care Box scheme and access to support, information and a place to drop by and have a coffee and a blether about what is happening with you at that time.
