“Fair Ways, Not Fairways!” – The Story Behind Our Name

At Fair Ways, we’ve always been proud of the values and care that our name represents. However, over the years, we’ve noticed a charming (and sometimes amusing!) trend – many people tend to miswrite or misspell our name. From “Fairways” to “FairWays” and even “fairways”, these variations have sparked some fun conversations among our teams.

While it’s easy to understand the mix-up, we’d love to take a moment to set the record straight and share why our name matters so much to us.

The Meaning Behind “Fair Ways”

Our name isn’t just a label – it’s a reflection of our mission. Fair Ways is about doing things fairly, with compassion and integrity. We believe in creating opportunities for children and young people to thrive. Every service we provide – from residential and fostering to education and training – is delivered with fairness and inclusivity at its heart.

The “Ways” in our name signifies the many paths we help people navigate on their journey toward better opportunities and brighter futures. Together, “Fair Ways” embodies our commitment to making a meaningful difference.

Why the Confusion?

The most common error we see is people writing our name as “Fairways.” Perhaps it’s because of the familiar term often associated with golf courses, or maybe it’s just muscle memory from typing quickly! But unlike the manicured lawns of a golf club, our mission isn’t about precision on the putting green – it’s about people, their lives, and making a real difference.

Why It Matters

Spelling our name correctly might seem like a small thing, but it’s actually a big deal for us. When you get it right, you’re not just honoring our brand – you’re helping to reinforce the values we stand for. Plus, it makes sure people can find us online, connect with our services, and support the vital work we do.

A Gentle Reminder

We understand mistakes happen – it’s human! So, if you’ve ever typed “Fairways” or “FairWays” instead of “Fair Ways,” consider this a friendly nudge to remember the space (and the meaning) in between.
