For the last few years my lad Charlie has attempted to cycle around the safari park raising funds for Camphill Blair Drummond. Charlie has a day placement there and absolutely loves spending his time with the kids and staff and being a part of the community.

For those that know Charlie, you will be aware of his struggles in life with his autism, cerebral palsy, his shunt and only having 40% vision. However, he pushes himself every day to enjoy life and help others when he can.

At the very heart of The Camphill Movement is social renewal through community living. Or, quite simply, creating communities which give everyone a sense of integrity, dignity and worth. Everyone contributes to the community life in different ways and it’s true to say that we work together, learn together, and grow together.

On Saturday 8th June, Charlie will once again attempt to make his way around the safari park on a tricycle to complete a circuit and in doing so try and raise some money for Camphill Blair Drummond.
