Fovant Parish Council rents and maintains a Children's Playground, for the young and a Recreation Ground, which has a 'Goal End' for the older children. There is also spectator bench seating.
Although Fovant no longer has a First School in the village, the building is now used by the Rainbow Centre (a limited company) which provides a caring and stimulating environment for children from birth to 5 yrs, 8am to 6pm, 5 days a week, 51 weeks a year. Plus they offer an After School Club for 5 to 12 year olds, Holiday Clubs and a Parent & Toddler Group.
The older children of the village have a newly refurbished and modernised Youth Club - all undertaken by locally provided funds and matched grants. The Youth Club is organised as a Charity and the children's parents and other volunteers support its Management Committee.
The Cricket Team enjoys a good reputation around the local area, winning many trophies each year - an aspect that encourages many youngsters to join!
Fovant has a Salisbury District-managed Residential Home for the elderly of the Parish. It is located at Clays Orchard adjacent to Sutton Road.
A Care-at-Home Service under the Cheshire Foundation is located in the village and arrangements have been made with the help of the Parish Church, for a regular roster of volunteers to drive the elderly to the Shop, Post Office and Surgery.
