Discover our adult social care services
For over 70 years, Camphill Village Trust has provided tailored support for people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health support needs, helping them live fulfilling and independent lives. Across our nine communities in England and our Shared Lives scheme in the West Midlands, we offer person-centred supported living, adult social care, and nature-based day therapies and skills programmes.
By combining personalised care with access to engaging nature-based day activities and supportive living arrangements, we empower people to achieve their goals and lead a life of opportunity.
Supported living and adult social care
Finding the right home is an important step in living an independent life. We offer a variety of supported living options, tailored to individual needs, including shared living with support staff, independent housing with back-up support and accommodation with a Shared Lives carer.
Our dedicated teams work closely with individuals to create personalised support plans that enhance their independence, well-being, and confidence.
Nature-based programmes
Open to residents and visitors to our communities, our Nature-based Therapies and Skills Programmes harness the proven connection between nature and wellbeing to achieve positive health, social and emotional outcomes for adults with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs. From animal care and pottery, to cooking with local ingredients and serving customers, our programmes are tailored to the individual goals, strengths and interests of the people we support.
Severnside Skills
For those who want to take their next step towards employment, we also offer access to Severnside Skills – our inclusive, campus-based training provider. Set within the lively Taurus Crafts visitor centre, Severnside Skills offers real work experience in a thriving social enterprise setting. It’s open to anyone over the age of 16 with special educational needs (SEN) and provides tailored vocational training in areas like catering, hospitality, and customer service - all tailored to help each person achieve their individual goals.
Shared Lives
We run a Shared Lives scheme in the West Midlands. This scheme matches adults with support needs with approved Shared Lives carers, who can offer them care and accommodation.
Around 12,000 people are supported through Shared Lives in England. Across Dudley and the Black Country, we supervise 65 households who provide support for adults with a range of needs.
Co-production
We are proud to have a co-production culture. Co-production is all about supporting our community members to make their own decisions about how they live and the services they want the Trust to provide.
From our paid Life of Opportunity Reviewers who share fellow community member voices with the Board of Trustees, to our co-produced I-Statements which shape every part of life and work at the Trust.
