Conceptual background
Boris belongs
to the social/therapeutic impulse known as the Camphill Movement which has over 100
communities world wide offering a home life, education, training and
meaningful work to children, young people and adults with learning
difficulties. Seahorses is part of the Lantern Community, which has
houses in Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle-of-Wight providing accommodation,
training and work for adults with a learning difficulty and other Special
Needs. The Lantern Community is, in turn, part of a larger charitable body
known as the Sheiling
Trust which supports a wide range of endeavours in Waldorf Education ,
social therapy, curative education, agriculture and medicine etc..
Seahorses is based at Freshwater on the Isle-of-Wight and has three main aims;
- To support and give a home-life to adults with a learning disability;
- To offer Bed & Breakfast and Holiday accommodation to anyone, with or without a disability. This is also part of a training which we offer our resident 'companions';
- To give opportunities for experiencing, participating and training in arts, crafts and gardening.
