Story
We're raising funds to help Camphill Wakefield redevelop areas of their college to enrich, expand and continue to support the learning experiences for their students.
Who is Camphill Wakefield?
Camphill Wakefield is a specialist college for young people with special educational needs and disabilities. They're a safe, caring, enjoyable place for people to build the skills to become more independent for the rest of their lives. The services they provide include:
- Post-16 education, including enterprise and career opportunities.
- Day services (meaningful independence activity after leaving education).
My names Emily and I love Camphill and I do handcraft, weaving and independent living skills and I love it here - Emily
The students, volunteers, and staff are the heart of Camphill Wakefield. In their carefully designed, inclusive community, they provide enriching learning opportunities, aligned to real work environments, as well as therapeutic care, and the support for every student to live an independent life, in which they can achieve their aspirations.
It's fun and staff can help you whenever you need help - George
Valuing and celebrating diversity, Camphill Wakefield are committed to the advancement of equality and inclusion. Working within their community, they're dedicated to the safety and comfort of others, accepting everyone and supporting their students to feel empowered and independent.
I love it here because I like feeding animals like ducks, Trudy the pig and collecting eggs from farm chickens - Lily
