Welcome to Camphill MK's newsletter. As ever, they have been busy bees and can boast a whole host of activities.
New Extension Thanks to YOU & the Big Give Campaign
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Big Give campaign last year.
Your generosity, combined with that of three trusts — The Anson Charitable Trust, Old Possum's Practical Trust, and The Reed Foundation — has made it possible to add extensions to existing homes for our residents to have the space to live comfortably.
Extensions to the existing homes within the Camphill MK Community will transform the growing houses, allowing us to continue addressing the long waiting lists for adults with disabilities to have a permanent home.

Camphill MK 2025 Garden Challenge
Our house shares took part in a very exciting, friendly competition this year. Inspired by the excellent work of our Garden Workshop participants, housemates decided to spruce up, nurture and get creative in their own gardens.
Throughout the year, all our houses have been working hard to make a difference in their gardens. Judges have been quietly observing and documenting the housemates' progress.

With lots of dancing, singing, a piñata, and amazing Wild West costumes, we want to thank our fantastic team for making it happen.
