Enabling and empowerment 

Every donation goes directly to support projects which enhance quality of life and opportunities for adults, children and young people with disabilities. This includes especially opportunities for meaningful work. Everyone has talents and can make a contribution to life if they are given the chance.

New and exciting initiatives

Supporting communities means supporting people.Camphill Foundation UK & Ireland supports exciting new initiatives every year, creating opportunities for adults, children and young people with learning disabilities and mental health issues to develop their practical skills and creative talents.

Change and renewal

Camphill Foundation UK & Ireland is happy to have assisted The Watergarden to transform itself into a vibrant centre for social activity and work opportunities for people with disabilities in the extended community.

Grants and loans get projects off the ground

Camphill Foundation UK & Ireland often provides the seed money to start new initiatives. Once they are up and running they can attract funding of their own to ensure long-term success and repaid loans can be used over and over again.

The Camphill Foundation's work is all about enabling, developing and opening up new potential and opportunity for people with disabilities who find it difficult establish themselves in adult life.

Opportunities for outreach and integration

The Foundation is interested in supporting projects which promote outreach and integration, new work opportunities and different forms of independent or semi-independent living for people with special needs.

Support for a project can have a knock-on effect in other areas. For example, helping to fund the building of new craft facilities in a community can free up space for inviting more people from the local area to take part in social and cultural events.
