Camphill Families and Friends is the only organisation dedicated to supporting families and friends of people with learning disabilities who live in Camphill communities in the UK.
We work to maintain key Camphill values and liaise closely with many communities and with our members in order to influence change.
Our charity offers support, information and partnership. We keep our members informed about the latest news on Camphill, funding and the ever-changing social care world. We do this through our website, publications and regular email News Updates. We also invite our members to two Open Meetings and three online Coffee Mornings each year.

Here to help you
Our members are families and friends of people with learning disabilities in a variety of UK Camphill communities. We offer support, information and partnership.
Supporting siblings
We know that a sibling’s experience of having a brother or sister with a learning disability can be different to that of a parent, so we support them too.
Handover Guide
We created a free downloadable guide to help family members or friends who are taking on the role of supporting someone who lives in a UK Camphill community.
