Together; we will make a difference
Fair Ways Employee Committee (EPIC) Representatives sit at the heart of Fair Ways.
We like to call them our Culture Champions, and each one acts as guardians of the company’s values; ensuring that everyone plays their P.A.R.T. The aim of EPIC is to provide a two-way communication process, involving and engaging employees through discussion, enabling them to contribute to the success of Fair Ways.
EPIC acts as a communication platform for all employees, enabling them to voice their ideas as well as their concerns. It also offers management the opportunity to discuss and review operational concerns and gain commitment to positive, transformational change.
What to expect from your Employee Rep?
Your Employee Representative on the Committee has a responsibility to look after your teams/departments best interests, bringing your ideas to the table and discussing the meetings with you again. Each rep will attend a monthly Committee Meeting and should ask for thoughts, ideas or issues to be bought to the meeting, and provide you feedback and ways you can get involved in what’s going on throughout the organisation.

We can assist homes and services within Fair Ways in a number of ways, including collecting groceries, medication or other supplies. The Help Squad will be utilised in situations where staff feel they cannot go out to collect these items or they cannot be ordered online.
The Help Squad will also be available to help any member of staff with immediate family, needing our support.
Young Person BIG Experience
Fair Ways had been planning on taking up to ten young people to trek the Atlas Mountains in Morocco in 2020. This trip will represent the first of its kind for Fair Ways and will allow service users to gain experiences they would not never normally have access to.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, this trip has been postponed. We are currently looking into ways of engaging young people in a big experience within the UK as we look forward into the future.
Fair Ways Fairy Garden
Fair Ways Foundation provided grant funds to Fair Ways who, in association with Royal Victoria Country Park in Southampton, created a magical Fairy Garden in the park.
This huge sculpture was carved from the stump of a felled cedar tree and contains turrets, a dragon, a wizard and fairies. In addition, Fair Ways school pupils helped create an oversized picnic area.
The sculpture seeks to challenge perceptions about children in care and demonstrate Fair Ways commitment to creating a new life for service users. The sculpture was donated free of charge for use by all park visitors.
