About Camphill Village Trust

Camphill Village Trust is a charity that supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health challenges. Now in our 72nd year, our focus on humanity and nature was inspired by our past and remains as key to the Trust’s ethos today. This is reflected in our focus on social care and nature-based therapy and skills integration, valuing everyone’s contribution, enabling personal pathways to development, celebrating the changing seasons, and respecting the rhythm of natural life.

We operate in both rural and urban communities, building on our care (social) and farming legacy. Our historical focus on enabling potential for people with support needs through farming, organic horticulture and enterprise centred on nature and traditional skills, continues to play to our strengths.

We continue to support adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health challenges to live their best, independent lives. By applying our core values to modern social care, we ensure that our provision remains relevant to supported people and social care commissioners today.
