New Build Project – Simeon Care for the Elderly
Work is underway to increase the number of older people supported at Simeon by over 90%. The construction of a new facility will allow more people to live with positivity, dignity, purpose, and compassion, in a place where they feel safe, known, and at home.
This new facility will include 18 ensuite, ground-floor bedrooms, each with direct access to the redeveloped dementia-friendly garden. It will also increase the number of local authority funded places.
Compass Project – East Point Health & Enterprise Hub
Planning permission was recently (August 2026) granted for the latest phase of the Compass Project’s redevelopment which will turn the site’s former kindergarten and science block into the multi-purpose East Point Health & Enterprise Hub incorporating therapy and consultation rooms, a cafe and play cafe, a charity shop, volunteer hub and craft rooms
.
This is the third phase of the Compass Project’s overall redevelopment with work on the refurbishment expected to commence before the end of 2026 and the building due to open by Summer 2027.

Rainbow Park Outdoor Sensory Playground – Camphill School Aberdeen
Aberdeen’s first inclusive outdoor sensory playpark was created at Camphill Estate to provide children and young people with additional support needs with a safe and accessible place to play, learn and explore.
Co-designed with young people from CSA and featuring specialist sensory equipment, the £700,000 playpark encourages confidence, communication and wellbeing through outdoor play.

Sensory Room – Beannachar
In the summer of 2025, a disused building at Beannachar was transformed into a fit-for-purpose sensory room for adults aged 18-33 with neurological conditions to explore sensory play, bring joy and calmness and offer developmental opportunities.
With the nearest facility a 20-minute drive away and too far for many to access, this important development allows adults who live and work at Beannachar to enjoy regular social connection, enjoyment and relaxation as well as the chance to grow essential life skills through sensory-based experiences.
