Supported living and leaders in Green Care activities

At Camphill Village Trust, we believe we are leaders of a new future; one that supports an integrated wrap-around model of social care with the therapeutic benefit of nature at its heart.

We are supported living providers of adult social care for those with learning disabilities, autism, mental health problems, complex needs, physical disabilities, and elderly care needs. We offer shared living with support staff, independent housing with comprehensive back up support and accommodation with support.

We are also leaders in Green Care; our Green Care Programme offers a range of indoor and outdoor day activities and skills-based opportunities which connect to nature. Our nature-based programme is available to the people we support and to the wider, local communities. Our activities offer a variety of different workshops from farms, gardens, craft workshops, café, shops and food and other production enterprises. Their main purpose is to provide sustainability and an opportunity for all community members to contribute. We also offer supported work experience, training and courses from retail to catering; these are courses designed around each person.

We hope our Green Care Programme offers the chance to make friends and build relationships, as well as the opportunity to learn and develop skills through a range of activities from our own established land and craft-based resources through to structured learning and therapeutic programmes, voluntary experience and employment.
