Camphill Social Fund(CSF) was set up in 1978 by Camphill School Aberdeen(CSA), as a contingency fund, initially largely to meet the needs of its staff of non-salaried volunteer co-workers. Alongside its more traditional work of providing financial support for Camphill co-workers in their older age and help with medical bills where treatment cannot be provided by the NHS, bridging finance to co-workers transitioning from a community, financial support to co-workers who have recently transitioned to employment, financial support to other Camphill communities and new projects in line with CSF’s objects have also received support.
