Our communities
Central to Camphill's ethos is an integrated approach to health, education and social care, supported by a nurturing environment.
Creating communities together involves mutual respect and valuing the contribution of each individual, regardless of disability, religious or racial background.

Creating opportunities
Within our communities are opportunities for learning, meaningful work and participation in a life rich in expression, through social and cultural activities.
Everyone is encouraged to take part in community decision-making, as well as making personal choices. The self worth that this creates, helps individuals with additional support needs to recognise their achievements and to fulfil their promise.
