Supporting charitable works and endeavours in Scotland and beyond for over 50 years
The Barcapel Foundation
The current Directors are the third and fourth generation of the Wilson family to manage our charitable trust and are still guided by the philosophies of the original settlors, R Clement Wilson and Andrew C Wilson.
The Barcapel Foundation Trustees meet twice a year, around May and November, to consider grant applications.
Our next board meeting will take place on Monday 25th November 2024 and application forms should be submitted by email to admin@barcapelfoundation.org by no later than Tuesday 1st October 2024
