The Gail Wilson Memorial Trust

Welcome to The Gail Wilson Memorial Trust .

The Gail Wilson Memorial Trust, is a small Educational Charity, based in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.

Our aim is to help youngsters who have been students of Galashiels Academy, and who wish to further their education at college or university, but anticipate difficulty in doing so due to financial constraint.

The charity was established in 2000 as a memorial to Gail Wilson, who was a student about to go to university at the time of her unfortunate death in a car accident in 1998.  Gail was concerned that some of her contemporaries of great potential would not do themselves justice, due to pressure from term-time jobs to help finance them through their courses.

This situation has become even more critical just now due to lack of jobs for students, and this is why in our TENTH ANNIVERSARY YEAR we are trying to raise even more funds to make more bursaries available.

Please help us to help our youngsters, so that they may fulfill their potential and then in turn help others to do so too
