In 1994 the family combined the assets of the Wilforge Foundation (the Clement Wilson Foundation had been renamed) and the Truth Research Foundation to form the Barcapel Foundation. Clement Wilson’s eldest son, Robert (Dickie) Wilson chaired the foundation from its incorporation until his untimely death in 2006. The current chairman of Barcapel, also called Robert, is Dickie’s eldest son and Robert Clement Wilson’s eldest grandson.
Our three priority areas of interest for funding are health, heritage and youth.
HEALTH - all areas of medicine and healing are supported by the foundation, with a particular interest in complementary and alternative therapies.
HERITAGE - we are committed to preserving and protecting our artistic and cultural heritage, especially with reference to the built environment.
YOUTH - the foundation supports all areas of development for young people especially those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
