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.
39,908 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households28.6% · 11,411 households
Families with dependent children25.0% · 9,987 households
Other single-family households43.7% · 17,434 households
Other household types2.7% · 1,076 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.
94,238 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.8% · 5,460 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.3% · 9,688 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act83.9% · 79,090 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 ↗

Roots of Kesteven
Lincolnshire County Council
£231,875
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Roots of Kesteven envisions a living Lincolnshire landscape where woodlands, heritage, and communities thrive together. Our goal is to bring ancient and secondary woodlands, many of which are neglected, back into sustainable management, restoring their ecological richness while safeguarding historic features such as woodland archaeology, boundary markers, and veteran trees. By creating new woodland linkages, we will strengthen habitat networks and build resilience to climate change. At the heart of this vision is community participation. Through co-produced research, heritage exploration, and skills training, we will reconnect people with traditional practices such as coppicing and hedgelaying, while inspiring new generations to value and care for their local landscapes. Improved access, inclusive engagement, and digital resources will ensure that woodland heritage is understood, enjoyed, and protected by all. The legacy will be a resilient, cherished woodland landscape rich in wildlife, rooted in history, and supported by communities for generations to come.

Rutland's Historic Churches: Preserving the Past for the Present and the Future
Rutland Historic Churches Preservation Trust
£84,900
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Rutland Historic Churches Preservation Trust (RHCPT) provides financial assistance with repair and conservation to all churches and chapels in Rutland. This project will expand RHCPT’s role in advising and supporting churches with project planning. Element 1 of the project is a census of the churches. The census will investigate: what repairs or restoration are needed; any reordering ambitions; barriers to undertaking work; knowledge of funders; volunteer and management capacity in the congregation/community; attitudes, concerns and perceptions about the future. The results will assist RHCPT, tHF and other funders and could inform the development of grant programmes. Element 2 is a training programme designed to address census findings thereby building knowledge and confidence. Element 3 will practically and financially support churches to progress repair, restoration and reordering projects through help with professional fees (e.g. architect, conservator, surveys), guidance through permissions processes, and grant applications to appropriate funders.
