What Do We Support:
Health
The foundation supports all aspects of health, a wide ranging remit acknowledging that “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
The funding of health is not merely seen as supporting hospitals and hospices, or research and development into mainstream diseases, although Barcapel has done (as displayed in the case study below), and will continue to, make such donations. Apart from the mainstream Barcapel is a particularly enthusiastic supporter of:
Complementary Medicine
Complementary Medicine describes practices used in conjunction and cooperation with conventional medicine, to assist the existing process. Barcapel has made substantial donations to the Homeopathic Trust for Research & Education as well as establishing The Nelson Barcapel Teaching Fellowship at Exeter University, specifically to enable postgraduate medical practitioners to take the Integrated Healthcare programme and critically assess a diverse range of approaches to health and social care.
Mental Health
Barcapel is commited to supporting the treatment of mental health problems as well as promoting awareness of the issues and facts surrounding mental health. We are committed to attempting to reduce the stigmatisation and increase understanding both from a patients point of view, and a wider perspective.
