Camphill Milton Keynes Communities
We provide community and supported living for adults with a range of learning abilities and disabilities. Here at Camphill Milton Keynes Communities we have houses at our Willen and Pennyland sites but we also work with people who live outside of our community. We can help with managing medications, practical support in the home as well as neighbour issues, finances, health and anything else that individuals and families may need support with.
Referrals can come from anywhere but most often will come from a social worker or similar. Please contact us if you would like to know more.
Here at Camphill Milton Keynes Communities, we run a varied program of workshops designed to teach new skills and provide valuable work and life experiences all in a fully supported environment. We run Land Craft, Gardens, Bakery, Café, Shop, Theatre, Art & Craft, Tech Lab and Newsletter workshops. They are not only creative but are specifically designed to provide meaningful and rewarding experiences. The workshops run throughout the year and service users can opt in or out according to their interests and goals.
Community is a key part to life here at Camphill Milton Keynes. As well as our workshops we also have regular events and activities open to everyone. One of the rather unique things about us is that we work hard to ‘build community’ by getting people involved in projects that are not much to do with their work but create social and cultural activity where we all have a part to play. We host regular events that are for our community but also for the public. We host performances in our theatre, our café and are open daily, and we also host craft fairs that not only showcase our own skills but also the wider community’s.
At Camphill Milton Keynes Communities we want to consult, involve and inform all of our Residents, Families & Friends, Staff and Partners. Our dedicated Parents and Families area shares information and resources for our residents families and staff.

Children who experience domestic violence usually think that they are guilty, they live in a constant fear and there are more likely to be victims of child abuse.

HUGE congrats to our athlete Tamsin for running the Cancer Research UK Race for Life 5k last week at Willen Park.
She’s worked incredibly hard independently and with help from personal trainer Marie Danielle Groves in the run up to the race.
We’re so proud of you Tamsin! 👏😃💚
Our CEO describes himself as a chap ‘not known for his sentimentality’, although we don’t quite agree!
The following story is one he heard many years ago when working in mental health. He recently referred to it when discussing how hard someone found it to be consistently kind to others. That feeling of weariness or compassion fatigue when people perhaps don’t change despite repeated sustained attempts to help. A feeling of ‘running out of kindness’, is how he described it. You may have heard the story before or a different version.
Food for thought, none-the-less! More
