Loch Arthur Camphill Community is a working Community which includes men and women with disabilities. There are 80 people in the Community, including families with children, men and women with special needs and local volunteers who join us for periods from a few weeks to several years. Work activities in Loch Arthur include farming (crops, dairy, beef, pigs and sheep), gardening, estate work, creamery, bakery, weaving workshop, woodwork and housework. We also have an award-winning Farm Shop and cafe that is very popular in the area and brings a lot of people from outside to the community.
Volunteers help with many aspects of community life. That includes helping individuals with personal care, preparing meals, with leisure activities, but mainly being part in our workshops. In all work activities the volunteers work in a team including people with learning disabilities. The volunteers live in shared houses, together with long-term co-workers and their families, other volunteers and people with special needs.
Volunteers have to be 18 years and older.
All volunteers have a room to themselves in a shared house. The volunteers take part in all meals within their house community and can make use of all facilities of the house incl. washing machine, internet etc.
All meals are provided by the Community. All dietary needs can be catered for as all meals are prepared freshly within the smaller house communities.
