We are a community of nineteen households in the North Yorkshire National Park.
We share our lives. We live in shared households, typically made up of two Camphill co-workers (with their family or children), three people with a learning disability and a volunteer. The majority of co-workers in the community are registered Shared Lives carers, responsible for providing support services commissioned by the local authority.
We all contribute to the best of our ability to life and work. We operate several volunteer-led workplaces, e.g. a bakery, wood workshop, biodynamic garden and herb garden, craft room, health food shop and a seed workshop. We work to meet the needs of the other and share our income.
We have a rich cultural life: we celebrate seasonal festivals, have a choir, perform plays and more. We are inspired by anthroposophy and dr. Karl König.
