Living, Working and Growing together.

Tiphereth is a unique Edinburgh community. A place where people with learning disabilities, staff and volunteers work and grow together.

 

The members of our community have learning disabilities, autism and other complex needs. We are a registered charity and a Camphill community. Camphill builds communities where everyone can find purpose and belonging.

Residential care.

Our three residential homes in Edinburgh are unique. Residents live with qualified care workers, and their families, so our houses become a real home.

By providing rhythm, stability and consistency in a beautiful and peaceful environment residents are enabled to find direction in their lives. While being supported to gain skills and opportunities that fulfil their aspirations.

We also provide supported accommodation. Where people with learning disabilities can live an independent life, with staff on hand for support when they need it.

Day service.

Our workshop groups are our day service. Most of our members join Tiphereth after leaving school. They work together on projects in gardening, landscaping, screen printing, woodwork, art and cookery. This meaningful work increases their self-confidence. It also develops their talents and gives them lifelong skills. One of our groups helps local community groups with conservation projects.

We also run two social enterprises. One collects garden waste from local households and turns it into compost. The other supplies firewood.

We hold summer and winter fairs where we sell our products to families and members of the public.

 

“My son feels very much part of the Tiphereth community. He loves the continuity of festivals and stable, quiet, safe surroundings. There is a wonderful ethos at Tiphereth. We owe a real debt of gratitude to everyone at Tiphereth who give so much love and support to my son.”

— A parent

As a local charity, we can't do any of this without your help. Which is why we are so grateful for all the support we get from the people of Edinburgh.
