Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life at Fairways Housing Projects

Ever wondered what daily life looks like inside a Fairways supported accommodation project?

It’s more than just providing shelter—it’s about structure, compassion, and creating a supportive environment where change is possible.

Each day at Fairways Accommodation Support Trust is driven by purpose and a deep understanding of what vulnerable individuals need to rebuild their lives. Our team’s work begins long before the front door opens, and continues quietly, even when no one is watching.

🌞 Morning: Building Routine and Stability

Our day typically begins early. Residents wake up in comfortable, clean housing that’s maintained by our facilities team. Many of our service users have experienced long periods of instability, so simply having a consistent morning routine can be life-changing.

Staff activities during mornings:

  • Checking in on residents with one-on-one chats
  • Reviewing any urgent maintenance or support needs
  • Coordinating appointments for health or social services
  • Preparing for job coaching or training sessions

These small steps help build confidence, structure, and trust.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Midday: Empowerment Through Engagement

Midday is when the community feel of our homes comes alive. Our support staff conduct group meetings or workshops focused on personal development, recovery, and responsibility.

Typical activities include:

  • House meetings to discuss shared space rules or concerns
  • CV writing and job search support sessions
  • Budgeting and life skills training
  • One-on-one case reviews for tailored support

These are not just “programs”—they are life tools. Many of our residents have never had the chance to learn these skills in a safe, patient environment.

🌆 Evening: Safety, Connection, and Reflection

By evening, the focus shifts to reflection and rest. Some residents prepare meals together, others engage in quiet time or speak with staff about their progress. The atmosphere is calm, respectful, and inclusive.
