Last Friday we had the pleasure of attending the opening of Murtle Market, Camphill School Aberdeen’s new sustainable store and takeaway café selling local and refillable produce, and crafts handmade by the day and residential students. With the construction and design centred around Murtle Market’s circular economy and sustainable roots, we were delighted to see Camphill Architecture, Burns Construction and Polka transform this disused building into a space for the community and for young people to gain skills and build independence. This was facilitated by an extensive range of funders and supporters, who were invited to join the celebrations. We look forward to continually supporting our operating charities in producing projects such as these that push the boundaries on sustainability and inclusivity, benefiting Aberdeen, shire and those from further afield. Murtle Market is open Tuesday-Saturday and is accessible from both North Deeside Road and the Deeside Railway line so please go along to get a coffee next time you’re in the area. ☕ Camphill School Aberdeen Camphill Architecture & Development Ltd Burns Construction (Aberdeen) Ltd
