WELCOME TO THE HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
HIWCF Response to the Coronavirus Outbreak
The Coronavirus outbreak is a life changing event and we recognise that many smaller, local charities and community groups will be concerned about its impact on their work, their beneficiaries and the communities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in which they live and work.
The HIWCF Team is working very hard to continue supporting the local community at this very difficult time. If you wish to support our work by making a donation, please click on the blue button below. If you wish to apply for a grant, please click on the green button.

Anyone who doesn’t “get” why endowment is so important must be a disciple of Groucho Marx who said “Why should I care about the next generation? What have they ever done for me?”
TESTIMONIALS
In Gosport, the grants will help towards the annual cost of suitably trained instructors to deliver yoga and pilates sessions tailored to older participants, ensuring that club members continue to benefit from regular, gentle exercise at a pace that suits them. In Fareham, the grants will provide a varied and stimulating activity programme for members of the Friendship Club, and will cover a significant proportion of venue costs for the Silver Tops, ensuring that we can keep the cost of membership at a level that is affordable to all our members.
We are so grateful that you have agreed to generously support our work with disabled people in this way. Your donation will help improve the lives of people living with dementia, plus their carers and loved ones, by providing access to the sea on board our unique powerboat catamarans.
I can confirm that your funds are being used at our Isle of Wight U Turn service to help vulnerable children at risk from sexual exploitation overcome their experiences and take positive steps forward with their lives. Your continued belief in our work and generosity is truly appreciated, thank you.
We’re really excited to be launching a year’s worth of tea parties for lots of local isolated people across Southampton. As you know, demand for Communicare’s services is ever increasing; your grant will help us to ensure the continuation of this good work.
We are truly grateful for your incredible support. If you would like to visit University Hospital Southampton to see first-hand the fantastic build you facilitated we would be very pleased to show you around.
