The John Wilson Memorial Trust provides support for both medical and clinical research. Health research is an important way to help improve the care and treatment of people.
John Wilson always held an enduring passion for business, in particular local community business. The Trust can provide advice and support for local companies and SMEs through its business support programme.
The role of young people in the community is very important as they can help grow and develop plans for the future. The Trust supports youth work overseas as well as in the local surrounding area. We encourage the power of youth.
John Wilson was passionate about his local community. Through our different schemes we aim to support local businesses, entrepreneurs and community projects. We look forward to future prospects.
The Trust is involved in supporting charity work through corporate sponsorship. Each individual charity is extremely important to the Trust. We strive to promote awareness and encourage those individuals who volunteer.
The Trust actively seeks opportunities to support local business. The business programme scheme over 2016-2017 supported and mentored a diverse range of local companies. Each business made progressive future intentions for growth.
The John Wilson Memorial Trust has been able to provide funding for East Belfast Independent Advice Centre and Action Mental Health. These two charities provide a special service for some of the most acutely mentally unwell people in Northern Ireland.
The Trust has been involved with aiding important research over several years through the Queen's University health partnership, where they funded a PhD student from the Centre for Public Health through their studies. More recently the Trust purchased a Robosep machine for MS Research.
