A Community Where Every Life Has Meaning and Purpose
At Tiphereth, people with and without learning disabilities live, work, and grow together.
Who We Are
Camphill Community
Camphill originated in Aberdeenshire in the 1940s. Camphill communities were—and remain—pioneers of inclusion for people with learning disabilities. Today, the Camphill movement is a global network of communities dedicated to living alongside people with learning disabilities.
Meaningful Work
We are proud of the variety of meaningful, creative work opportunities we offer to adults with learning disabilities from across Edinburgh, East Lothian, and Midlothian.
At Tiphereth, we believe work is a vital part of life that enriches us all. It helps us unfold our potential and brings a deep sense of fulfillment.
Sharing Our Lives Together
At Tiphereth, our culture is built on doing, not just talking. Whether we are crafting products in the workshop, gardening, or planning our next community event, we focus on the potential of the individual. We learn from one another, solve problems together, and build lasting friendships that turn our shared life into a genuine home.
