Camphill Communities of Ireland

Camphill creates mutually supportive environments that support people to live the life they wish and fulfill their potential by nurturing community social bonds, providing safe places to live, and opportunities for people to find meaning and belonging. Over 350 adults with intellectual disabilities are supported across the organisation. Many of our community members with support needs (CMSN) have intellectual and/or communication difficulties. Emphasis is placed on life skills learned through everyday activities, providing support and opportunities for self-advocacy and decision making, and opportunities to learn social skills and to form social connections. We provide training in vocational skills through practical experiences in a number of vocational training facilities. Working at trainees’ own pace with achievable yet challenging learning objectives. 

 

overview

Camphill Communities of Ireland provide homes and day opportunities to over 350 adults with intellectual disabilities and other care needs at our fifteen communities throughout Ireland.

The core objective of CCoI is the recognition of the dignity of people with support needs, we believe that mutual support of each other creates a healthy environment for healing and development. CCoI recognises that each person with a disability has different support needs and has established communities throughout Ireland that cater to those needs.
