  • Take a look at our reviews and you’ll see what it’s like working with us!

    All three of the Founders and Trainers at Fair Foundations have spent their working lives trying to support other people to grow and thrive, and to create a fairer world.

  • Fair Foundations is the trading name of Fair Pathways Limited, a private limited company. We are also a social enterprise, which means that whilst we operate as a business, our primary purpose is social — we reinvest the majority of our profits back into our mission rather than distributing them to shareholders. Being a limited company and a social enterprise are not mutually exclusive; what defines us is our commitment to creating a fairer world, not our legal structure.

  • We work across the United Kingdom and beyond. We offer sessions both online and in person, and we'll always work with you to figure out what suits you best. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here — if you're not sure what would work for you, just get in touch and we'll have a conversation.

  • We offer a free 15-minute assessment call to help us understand your situation and point you towards the right support. This is the best place to start — it costs nothing, and it means any paid sessions you book afterwards are properly tailored to your needs.

  • Yes, absolutely. Many of the organisations we work with are small charities and social enterprises operating on tight budgets. We'd encourage you to book a free assessment call so we can understand your situation and find an approach that works for you. We're a social enterprise ourselves, so we understand the pressures you face.

  • Yes. We can work with individuals, small groups, or entire teams — whatever suits your organisation. Whether you're looking for a one-off training session or ongoing support, get in touch and we'll work out the best format together.

  • Sessions are tailored to the individual or organisation, so no two are exactly alike. Generally, you can expect a structured but conversational approach — we'll focus on your specific goals, work through practical strategies together, and make sure you leave with something actionable. Sessions can take place online or in person, depending on what works best for you.

  • The best first step is to book a free 15-minute assessment call. This helps us understand what you're looking for and match you with the right trainer and service. You can book directly through our website — just click the button at the top of the page.

  • Yes. Any information you share with us is treated with complete discretion and handled in accordance with UK data protection law. We will never share your personal details with third parties without your consent.

  • Yes — and in fact, supporting people who face additional barriers is central to what we do. Our founder Jake has over 15 years of experience working with people in exactly this situation. We take a deeply person-centred approach, which means we start from where you are, not where we think you should be. Whatever your circumstances, we'd love to hear from you.

  • A few things. First, we're a social enterprise — our mission is to create genuine impact, not simply fill vacancies or deliver generic training. Second, our trainers bring real-world experience across employment support, technology, and business growth — not just theoretical knowledge. Third, we work with the whole person or organisation, not just the immediate problem. And finally, we work with people who are often overlooked by mainstream services, because we believe everyone deserves the chance to build a fulfilling future.
