Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
44,217 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households33.9% · 15,011 households
Families with dependent children28.6% · 12,647 households
Other single-family households33.3% · 14,738 households
Other household types4.1% · 1,821 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
100,731 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot7.6% · 7,705 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.4% · 10,466 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act82.0% · 82,560 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

About this award
Our project will ensure that sporting heritage - the golden thread of the UK's heritage story - is protected and shared into the future. It will do that by ensuring that Sporting Heritage CIC - the only sector support organisation for sport which exists internationally - will be in a far stronger, strategic and resilient position. Our project will provide us with the time and capacity to research and evidence the impact we make on removing sporting heritage from risk, creating more resilient heritage across the UK, diversifying heritage, and impacting on wider agendas. It will allow us to use this research to shout loudly about what we do and the impact we make, and to create clear investment models for sponsors, funders, and clients wishing to use our consultancy services, levering in additional funding as well as ensuring we have the best governance model in place.
Support for applicant to attend: 1) FIAF Congress in Rabat, April 2026; 2) Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival in Bologna, June 2026; 3) Radical Film Network Conference in Paris, June 2026.
