The Foundational Economy covers those areas of the economy that provide the goods and services essential for everyday life — health and social care; food; housing; energy and utilities; construction; retailers on the high street; and tourism. These are the ‘zones’ of the foundational economy.
These goods and services are generally provided by:
The presence – or absence – of a thriving local foundational economy can have a profound impact on places and their communities. This directly affects goods, services, distribution of income and skills, and job opportunities, but with secondary effects on wellbeing, community, and health.
Cynnal Cymru facilitates a community of practice on the foundational economy on behalf of Welsh Government. It focuses on core foundational sectors of Food, Social Care, and Future Skills.
The FE CoP meets regularly to exchange knowledge, share learning, and encourage innovation. A key role is to help broker links between projects and partners from all sectors, with a view to practical problem-solving and collaboration. The meetings are member-led and highly participative, with reprresentatives from local authority and housing association backgrounds, training providers, community organisations and third sector networks, and Welsh Government officials.
