| Pennine is part of the Camphill movement. The Camphill movement creates community settings in which children, young people, and adults, many with learning difficulties, can live, work, and learn with others in healthy social relationships based on mutual care and respect. Pennine's main activities are supporting a college for those with learning difficulties.
Most coworkers live within the 35-acre site, working on a voluntary basis and receiving no wage or salary but with their daily needs being met by the community. There is always an international flavor to the community, with usually half the coworkers coming from other countries, often as a gap year after or before college or university.
Our small farm and vegetable gardens are worked bio-dynamically and provide much of the community's needs. There are several craft workshops and a riding school run jointly with the Riding for Disabled Association.
We are always open to inquiries; our usual request is that a potential coworker has a year free of commitments and would be prepared to live, work, and learn alongside others in the community. Many people come to help at the Pennine Community for about a year at a time. There are often places available, so please get in touch. | |
