[email protected] Foundational Economy : Research Report | i Acknowledgements This research was funded by the Manchester Statistical Society with additional support from the Alliance Manchester Business School. In 1834 the Manchester Statistical Society organised the first house to house survey in the UK and we thank them for supporting a new experiment in combining social survey with statistical information. The finished report owes much to the energy and initiative of Luca Calafati and Jill Ebrey, the two researchers on this project. Through Ross Williams (community development) and Debbie Green (chief executive), Coastal Housing made a crucial contribution by lending staff who willingly distributed and collected survey questionnaires. We would also thank Ellen Duncan (library manager), who allowed us to use the meeting room in Morriston Public Library as our base, and the citizens of Morriston who completed our survey. All this has encouraged an optimism of the will and intellect about people and place which we hope is reflected in this report.
