The composition of the board of directors of Capstone Projects allows it to draw on a broad range of experience as set out below.

 

Derek Marshall

Derek’s present remit is as the Operations Director of the new £1.3 million purpose built Factory Skatepark and Youth Support Centre within the City. Previously he has been involved in the financial management of The Gate Church and its related businesses over the last 18 years and has substantial experience in working in and with the voluntary sector. Derek has been involved in work in rural Uganda since 1993 which has included taking groups to visit and work each year. He has a vision to help resource groups in these types of situations to enable them to help themselves. He also visited Romania on five occasions.

 

Norman Forrest

Norman was a chemistry teacher at a local high school. Having recently retired from teaching he now works part time at the Skatepark where he is a director. He is an active church member and has visited both Uganda and Romania. He is glad to be part of an organisation which encourages people to support others with finance so that they in turn can become self sufficient and make a difference in their communities. Capstone Projects is such an organisation.

 

Kenny Martin

Kenny works for Perth and Kinross council as an outreach worker for the social inclusion team. He has been to Uganda on numerous occasions and has made many friends there. Kenny is also a musician and contributes to the worship and music of the church in Uganda. His focus and vision is to see the young people achieve their potential in life although they face many adversities. Kenny's interest in his visits to Uganda is to encourage the young people who do not have the same opportunities as our young people here in the west. His heart is very much in Uganda and he is delighted to be with Capstone and to serve the people there and any other projects we might be involved in.

 

Bill Pitt

Bill has a manufacturing joinery business in Kirriemuir where he is a member of Strathmore Christian Fellowship in Kirriemuir. He first went to Uganda in 2002 and has been going every year since helping on various projects and passing on some of his joinery skills.

 

Alec Macaulay

Alec has over 30 years accounting experience in industry and commerce. He has been regularly to Uganda since 1994. Alec has engaged in voluntary work in life skills, mainly with adults, for over 25 years. He has a real desire to encourage and help people to be all that they can be.

 

Duncan Chisholm

Duncan has worked for many years in helping and supporting people with Disabilities into and in employment. He currently works as an Adviser for a large Disability Organisation. He is a member of Panmurefield Village Church in Dundee and has visited Uganda on several occasions and is very supportive of Capstone’s work in Uganda.

 

Brian Young

Brian works alongside Derek at the Factory Skatepark and has been actively involved in youth work for over twenty years. He became involved with Capstone after being bitten by the bug during a visit to Uganda in 2005. Since then he has returned to work on projects in Uganda every year and has visited past projects in Romania. Brian has given numerous presentations to various groups throughout the Tayside area and is always seeking new opportunities to boost the profile of the charity.
