“The healthy social life is found, when in the mirror of each human soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community the virtue of each one is living.” R. Steiner
At Garvald West Linton, we have created a social environment that promotes individual development and well-being. The philosophy supporting our work is based on the principles of Rudolf Steiner, whose approach to human psychology and development highlights the uniqueness of each individual human, whatever their disability. He also developed particular therapeutic methods that we practice here at Garvald. The provision of creative and productive work opportunities, a rhythmical daily life and a shared cultural life are important therapeutic factors in our work.
Regardless of whether they have a learning disability, many people who come to Garvald West Linton have not only experienced growth in their self-confidence, but also have developed personally by gaining new skills.
Garvald West Linton Ltd. is a registered Scottish Charity No. SCO20909

I get to talk about my support plan at my reviews and I get to talk about things I want to change. I like how Willow is decorated. I feel nice in my bedroom and the living room. I feel safe in Willow. Staff are nice and they do their job well. I feel okay when staff change and I like meeting new staff. I go to staff when I am unhappy and they listen to me – they try to make me happy again.
I like going on my bike with staff to go and have tea break with other staff. I miss staff when they leave. When staff notice I am unhappy they try and do something about it
