In the different communities we offer a range of accommodation styles from little flats to community homes to suit individual needs of people with special needs. We focus on supporting and enabling people through community life. Our target groups are children, young adults, adults and senior citizen with special needs. Along with accommodation services we offer diverse activities in different workshops like farming, gardening, working with food, weaving, household and many-sided craft and artistic workshops.
