A Little About This Home

Fairfield is a traditional farm house surrounded by fields with views over the Rossendale valley and surrounding green areas. The staff and children love to have fun and that makes Fairfield a very fun and active home and there's always something good happening.

The children here are great and the relationships with staff are amazing so our support workers go above and beyond to give them the very best. We try our best to make it a place they feel safe, loved and given all the opportunities any other child would have. Some of our young people are sporty and love playing football, basketball, gymnastics and going to the gym. We also have young people that love gaming, like most teenagers, and also a young person who loves drama and performing arts.
