Save wHoo Cares - Bridge the Gap

Aim

Keep vital support on the Hoo Peninsula alive-help us bridge a critical funding gap and ensure no one in our community is left without help.

Our Story

For 10 years, wHoo Cares has been a lifeline on the Hoo Peninsula. What started as a simple idea now supports over 500 people, powered by nearly 100 volunteers and a dedicated staff.

We help people by taking them to medical appointments, assisting with housing and benefits, visiting loved ones, and participating in weekly community activities. For many, we are more than a service — we are friendship, connection, and support when it’s needed most.

Why We Need Your Help

This year, our core funding from Medway Council was withdrawn due to wider financial pressures. At the same time, demand for our support continues to grow, and costs are rising.

From our side, we are actively exploring every possible option to secure the future of our services. We are cutting costs, developing new funding streams, and working hard behind the scenes to ensure that support remains available to those who need it most.

But without urgent support, wHoo Cares could be forced to close.

What Your Support Will Do

Your donation will help us keep going during this crucial period, covering essential running and transport costs so we can continue supporting those who rely on us every day.

Here are some examples of how your donation could help:

£10 could cover the travel cost of taking someone from Allhallows to Medway Hospital and back. 

£50 could pay for Life Planning, to provide valuable support and guidance for a new referral.

£100 could pay for our weekly Coffee Morning for a month.

This is not about long-term dependency — it’s about bridging a gap. We have a sustainable future in sight. We just need help to get there.

Why It Matters

If we close, hundreds of people lose support, connection, and independence.

With your help, we can keep our doors open and continue being there when it matters most.

Here is what just a handful of our Partners (the people we support) have told us recently:  

"Thanking you all for all you do for me and my friends at wHoo Cares. You are always there for us when we need you." M

"Thanks for your help and kind thoughts. You are a great asset for our community." J&M

"Thank you very much for all the time and work you have put in on my behalf. I really appreciate it." P

"Thank you for being there for me in my time of need. It's a great comfort to know you are there." P

Please support wHoo Cares today.

Check out our rewards; we're hoping to add even more over the coming weeks. 

When you make a donation, Crowdfunder will invite you to add a tip to support their platform. This is entirely optional; please feel free to adjust or decline it as you wish.
