Who we are

Established in 1954, Camphill Village Trust is a charity which provides support to adults with learning disabilities. The philosophy of Rudolf Steiner inspired the Trust’s ethos. Today it is reflected by valuing everyone’s contribution, enabling personal pathways to development, celebrating the changing seasons and respecting the rhythm of life. We call this “A Life of Opportunity”.

What is A Brilliant Future?

A Brilliant Future is the name of our new three year strategy from 2024. We're launching it in our 70th anniversary year, with respect for our history and an aspiration to shape a new future for social care. The people we support are at the heart of our strategy, they have told us what is important to them. They remain at the centre of what we do.

We believe that we can play a leading role in re-imagining social care - enabling independence through emotional, social and physical wellbeing - supporting the person as a whole. Our aim is to integrate high quality support, good quality housing with the proven health and wellbeing benefits of our natural environment. We want to unlock the connection between people and the planet.

To achieve this, we have refreshed our Vision and Mission to define who we are today and the role we want to play in creating an inclusive society where everyone has equal chance to live their own hopes, dreams and ambitions through opportunities to live healthy and active independent lives.    

Our Vision

To be a national leader in Social and Green Care Integration, enabling more adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health problems to live healthy, active and independent lives.

Our Mission

To improve health equity and wellbeing outcomes through high quality, person-centred support delivered within a culture of co-production.
