Camphill movement
Camphill Community Trust is a part of the international Camphill movement which was founded by Dr Karl König and a group of close associates in 1939 in Scotland. The first Camphill community was a school for disabled children, set within the context of a shared communal life. The school flourished and led to the founding of other Camphill centres, some offering schooling, some training for disabled people and others long term employment and sheltered living.
More on the Camphill movement
The Camphill movement now includes more than 100 centres in 18 countries. Each centre is affiliated to the international Camphill movement but is managed and financed independently.
Camphill Community Trust was started in 1974 as a small school for children with learning difficulties and other disabilities. It has since grown to become a place of learning for children and young people with diverse needs from early childhood through to independent adult life.
