Camphill Village Trust relies on the kindness of its friends and donors to provide a life of opportunity for the people we support. We focus on what people can do rather than what they cannot do and this ethos creates an atmosphere all of its own.
We’ve been challenging ourselves as community members to be the best we can be for the past 65 years and this year, to celebrate our 65th anniversary, we’re asking you to join in too. We want to inspire you to follow the example of our community members and do something incredible for both yourself and Camphill Village Trust.
Have you always wanted to learn a new skill? Get fitter or faster? Or test yourself to the limits? Our 65th anniversary is the perfect opportunity to encourage you to take that first step and take on your very own personal challenge!
We’ve even compiled a list of events across the UK to inspire you!
