Beannachar is a Camphill Community providing Training for Young Adults with
Special Needs

The aim of the members is to create a therapeutic integrated environment
within which the young person can find the support and guidance they need
to develop their full potential in maturing from adolescence to adulthood.
Beannachar is situated in countryside on the edge of Aberdeen, two miles
from the city centre. There is a large 19th century house, comprising
two house communities (Sycamore and Silver Birch) and a purpose-built house,
Rose. Further buildings provide workshops for weaving, wood work, candle
making, laundry and herb processing, and also additional co-worker accommodation
(Rowan and Juniper). A large walled garden, a small farm, a playing field
and extensive woodland make up the thirty acres of ground.
We are a community of approximately 70 people: 22 students (residents, who
are usually between 17 and 30 years old and stay for periods of between 2
and 10 years); 10 day students, 15 long-term co-workers & employees;
12 shorter-term co-workers and 10 children. Some of the employed people help
to run the houses.
