Camphill MK welcomes Northants to their community
"This new name reflects who we are today and the communities we are proud to serve”
Camphill Milton Keynes is proud to announce that it will now be known publicly as Camphill Milton Keynes & Northants, marking an important milestone in the organisation's continued growth and development.
The new name follows the successful integration of services previously known as William Blake House and reflects the organisation's commitment to the communities it supports across both Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire.
For more than forty years, Camphill MK has supported adults with learning disabilities to live lives of dignity, purpose, meaningful relationships and genuine community. Today, the organisation supports more than 100 residents and employs over 200 staff across a growing network of services.
The transition to Camphill Milton Keynes & Northants represents more than a name change. It reflects the coming together of two organisations with shared founding principles and Camphill tradition, and a common belief that people with learning disabilities should be respected as individuals empowered to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Tim Davies, Chief Executive of Camphill Milton Keynes & Northants, said: "This new name reflects who we are today and the communities we are proud to serve. As we have grown, it became increasingly important that our identity recognised both Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire, and the people who live, work and build community across both areas.
"The integration of the services formerly known as William Blake House has strengthened our organisation, bringing together dedicated staff, residents and families who share the same values and vision. We are excited about the future and remain committed to providing outstanding support while preserving the sense of community and belonging that is at the heart of everything we do."
Whilst the public-facing name will change to Camphill Milton Keynes & Northants, the organisation's registered legal name will remain Camphill Milton Keynes Communities Ltd.
The organisation emphasised that the change does not affect the services provided, or its ongoing commitment to the people it supports. The rebrand forms part of a wider journey to build one organisation united by shared values, purpose and a commitment to enabling people with learning disabilities to lead rich, connected and meaningful lives.
