Fairford Court

We deliver person-centred care focused on building independent daily living skills that enable individuals to transition to supported living. This includes support with cooking, daily tasks, community access, and voluntary work placements for those aiming to regain employment skills.

Alongside practical skills, we help individuals understand and positively manage day-to-day stresses and anxiety to prevent these from overwhelming them or worsening their mental health.

Our Autism Profiles allow us to fully understand how Autism impacts each person’s socialisation, behaviours, routines, communication, sensory sensitivities, and interests. These profiles help us create a personalised support plan, continually adapted with input from the person themselves, guiding their journey towards independence.

We also emphasise physical wellbeing alongside mental health, encouraging good nutrition and exercise. Regular exercise groups visit the service, and daily activities include walking, using exercise bikes, and healthy cooking sessions.

Fairford Court offers a variety of in-house activities including karaoke, arts and crafts, meditation groups, gaming afternoons, and movie nights. We encourage residents to make decisions about the activities they enjoy and wish to see offered.

Monthly day trips are arranged to places such as London Zoo, the Natural History Museum, and Winter Wonderland. Residents actively participate in monthly meetings where they help decide all upcoming activities.

Our accommodation includes eight en-suite bedrooms, spacious communal lounges, kitchens, and dining areas. We also have a well-used activities room for meditation, yoga, exercise, gaming, and more.

Located close to shops, retail parks, and Finchley Lido leisure centre (which features a cinema, swimming pool, and gym), Fairford Court benefits from excellent transport links to Central London and nearby areas such as Finchley High Street, Whetstone, Wood Green, and Barnet—all just a short bus ride away.

Fairford Court has introduced alternative therapies to boost the physical and mental wellness of those we support. These include yoga, meditation, pet therapy, and daily power walks. These activities have been well received, with groups of up to five participants reporting positive effects on stress, chronic pain, and blood pressure.

Due to their popularity and positive outcomes, additional sessions have been added and these therapies may become a permanent part of life at Fairford Court.

Foyinsola Ojomo, Support Worker, said:
"These therapies help people become more mindful of what triggers their stress and anxiety. We believe alternative therapies can support our residents to progress towards independent community living. This is a positive step towards providing holistic care, and we look forward to continuing this journey."
