At Camphill Village Trust, we take a holistic approach to supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health problems.
Rooted in the connection between people, nature, and community, our work focuses on enabling individuals to live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives. We combine high-quality social care with Green Care, which integrates nature-based activities and therapy into everyday life. Our approach centres on personalised support, co-production with the people we support, and a commitment to environmental sustainability, ensuring that everyone can thrive within vibrant, inclusive communities.
We explore with each person how we can support, encourage and empower them to make informed choices, gain life skills and contribute to society in a way that brings purpose and meaning to them.
Alongside the chance to make friends and build relationships, we offer opportunities for people with learning and other disabilities to learn and develop skills through a range of nature-based day activities, from growing and horticulture to voluntary experience, and employment.

Co-Production is transforming the way we work with people with learning disabilities and autism. The result across Camphill Village Trust is challenging and inspirational to all. The people we support are growing in confidence.

Community has always, and will continue to be, central to the way Camphill Village Trust provides support to people with learning disabilities. Today, all of our communities are outward looking and work to be fully integrated within their locality, reflecting the many changes in wider society.
We understand that to provide support that is personalised and individual we must work in partnership with, listen to and involve our family members.
We offer a range of initiatives to provide support for people with learning disabilities and associated health conditions, including dementia support, positive behaviour support and work and voluntary opportunities.
