A community which supports adults with learning disabilities is inviting people to be part of their story as they build new accessible homes.
The Tile me a Story project will see people making their own unique ceramic tile as part of a fundraising art piece for the Camphill MK site in Buckinghamshire to support the ambitious build project.
Two years ago, Camphill MK announced an investment target of £15m to create new, much-needed, accessible housing for adults with learning disabilities.
The first of six eco-houses are already rising from the ground and the care team is eagerly planning to welcome new residents to these homes in Spring 2025.
"We are committed to creating quality accessible housing for those desperately in need to provide a secure home that adapts and changes around the needs of the individual as they age,” said Camphill MK's CEO Tim Davies.
“The costs attached to this are significant, so we are asking people to be involved to help us create the homes and build community."
The crowd-funding project, a modern and creative twist on the standard 'buy-a-brick' schemes repeated around the country, is a celebration of all things Camphill.
The tiles are made in the on-site ceramic studios by residents, with designs created in collaboration with both the residents and the public, fostering a sense of inclusivity and community.
Businesses are also invited to book a Corporate Day, supporting team development of their staff whilst undertaking a creative project with a purpose and true value back to the charity.
Everyone participating in the community-wide art project will also be invited to the presentation of the completed artwork in 2025, be featured in a digital gallery with their tile and the story behind it, receive a digital certificate, and be part of Camphill MK's future story.
