We’re absolutely over the moon to share that we’ve received funding from Kilgallioch Wind Farm Community Fund (administered by Foundation Scotland)!

With this funding, we’ll be able to:

💼 Strengthen our amazing team by securing employment.

🏠 Make the most of our new premises in Stranraer – a hub for staff, volunteers, and anyone who needs our support.

💖 Keep delivering and growing our support services for people who are affected by cancer in Wigtownshire.

This support isn’t just about helping us now – it’s a step toward ensuring we’re here for the long term. By building a strong foundation, we’re working to make sure WWAC can keep supporting people across Wigtownshire for years to come.

A huge thank you to Kilgallioch Wind Farm Community Fund for believing in what we do. Together, we’re building a stronger, more caring community!

On 28th April, a group of WWAC volunteers and supporters took part in the 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝟮𝟮.𝟲 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗴𝗼𝘄.  

All of the participants had been impacted by cancer and wanted to keep making a difference. 

Given the rural location of Wigtownshire, people diagnosed with cancer often find themselves having to travel anything from 50 to 140 miles for essential treatment. Our fundraising efforts were aimed to help cancer patients from Wigtownshire who must undertake these challenging journeys. The ordeal is strenuous, compounded by the difficulties of illness, making the back-and-forth travel both physically draining and financially burdensome. 

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗬 £𝟲𝟮𝟮𝟭.𝟱𝟬!  

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to our cause, which will help alleviate this strain by subsidising the expenses for an overnight stay in a hotel, eliminating the need for a round trip in a single day.

Your generous donations will directly contribute to covering these costs, providing much-needed respite for patients and their families. Your support will significantly impact the lives of people in Wigtownshire having to cope with the trials of cancer treatment.

Special thanks to Mark Scarlett Visuals for the photography and support.

Amazing efforts from Team WWAC!

A brand new team came together 2 days ago! Their willingness to participate was awesome, and the immense effort and enthusiasm put in by everyone was amazing!  

Our team won the first heat and was 2nd in the final. 

They lost to the Stranraer Fire Brigade Team, but the awesome team of firefighters donated £150 to WWAC. 

Thank you, Team💪🏽
