about | About the Camphill Village Trust

WE ARE a leading, long established and progressive UK charity supporting adults with learning disabilities, mental health problems and other special needs. We support people in their home life, work, social and cultural activities through our 11 urban and rural communities in England and Scotland.

Each of our communities - through our person-centred approach in which support is tailored to each individual's needs - provides opportunities for personal growth, fulfilling work, friendship and social interation, education and training, and cultural and spiritual inspiration. Everyone receives the support they need to participate fully in the life of our communities and their surrounding areas. Above all we value what each individual brings to the communities in which we live.

Life in our communities is based on mutual support and respect with everyone contributing in their own ways to the well-being of their fellow community members. We particularly recognise the need for everyone to be valued as part of the community in which they live.

Jonathan's Story

 
 "I work in the Larchfield bakery in the mornings and in the garden in the afternoons. Our new bakery is big, with big ovens and more space to do things.
Every Thursday evening I go horse riding with Bruce. I ride a big horse called Patrick. He always play-up a bit but he's absolutely wonderful.
This year I came 2nd in the Riding for the Disabled Regional Championship and went to the National Championships where I came 8th. I was over the moon!"
