About Camphill Village Trust
Camphill Village Trust is a charity that supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health challenges.

We operate in both rural and urban communities, building on our care (social) and farming legacy. Our historical focus on enabling potential for people with support needs through farming, organic horticulture and enterprise centred on nature and traditional skills, continues to play to our strengths.
