….and its ambition to create an open space for serious discussion about the policies Wales will need over the coming decade. We would welcome opportunities for the Substack to explore:
- co-operative and community ownership as part of Wales’s economic future;
- community wealth building and local procurement;
- place making, focused upon HOW as much as the WHAT and what can be learnt from the effective use of UK Pride in Place guidelines;
- co-operative approaches to housing, childcare, social care and education;
- worker ownership and succession planning;
- the role of credit unions and mutual finance;
- co-operative education, youth co-operation and the meaningful participation of children and young people;
- inclusive policy-making involving disabled people, minority ethnic communities and people whose voices are frequently excluded; and
- the contribution of co-operatives to a fair, democratic and sustainable Wales.
