Building Foundations is a small, local charity, set up as a community interest company at the end of 2021.

We arrange informal training and work experience placements for young people who are not in education, training or employment, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with additional needs or mental health issues.

Building Foundations is based in a former sweet factory on Wern Industrial Estate in Rogerstone, Newport, which has been transformed into a community hub known as The Warehouse. We also run The Loading Bay Community Café at the hub, which hosts parent-and-toddler groups in a recently-refurbished soft play area.

We also offer mentoring and job-seeking support on an informal basis and have two experienced mentors as part of our team.
