Corbenic Camphill Community
Amount donated: £40,380
"In every aspect and area, Corbenic has and is, on an ongoing basis, exceeding our expectations with their outstanding care and support for our (adult) daughter. Thank you."
The Corbenic Camphill Community is situated on a 100-acre estate in highland Perthshire, near Dunkeld. We are a charity serving 45 residents and 13 day-participants, all of whom are adults with complex learning difficulties. Their conditions include Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Downs Syndrome and Fragile X Syndrome. They, together with their families, our 24 volunteers and 104 staff are part of an extended community that values being together and working together, sharing life so that all can live well and in a way that fosters the sense of integrity, dignity, equality and worth in each person.
