Aberdeen Rotary to hear about Camphill

Talk to look at Camphill's foundation in Aberdeen

Members of the Rotary Club of Aberdeen will hear about the work of Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire at their meeting on Tuesday (June 15).

This month marks the 70th anniversary of the opening of Camphill Home for Boys and Girls at Camphill House in the Milltimber area of Aberdeen.

There are seven charities in Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire, providing personal development, care and medical support for children, young adults, adults and elderly people who have special needs.

More than 700 people live and work in Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire communities in Culter, Milltimber, Bieldside, Banchory Devenick and Arbuthnott.
