Milltown Community had a very democratic approach, with people being involved in planning their lives and in agreeing what they were going to do. We saw many instances of people being offered options and given the time and space to make up their minds, rather than being expected to make a quick decision.
About the community
Milltown is a small and dynamic community in rural Aberdeenshire. Through living and working together, making connections in the local area, and taking part in a wide variety of activities, we encourage people to learn new skills and reach their potential.
We have two houses and a Day Workshop. The two houses – Milltown House and Peesie’s Knapp – are registered for housing support and care at home for eight adults with learning disabilities.
Milltown Day Workshop provides day services for people with a variety of disabilities who live locally. Activities include restoring donated tools for Tools for Self Reliance, wood work, crafts, working in the gardens and the smallholding.
