Home ownership and renting

Housing tenure shows how households in this constituency described their home at the most recent census.

41,560 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners71.7% · 29,801 households
Private renters14.8% · 6,161 households
Social renters11.5% · 4,764 households
Other tenure2.0% · 834 households

“Other tenure” combines shared ownership and households recorded as living rent free.

Housing-tenure figures come from the most recent census: 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2022 in Scotland. View housing-tenure source ↗

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.

41,562 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households28.5% · 11,828 households
Families with dependent children27.3% · 11,330 households
Other single-family households41.5% · 17,247 households
Other household types2.8% · 1,157 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.

96,611 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.8% · 5,645 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.0% · 9,653 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.2% · 81,313 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 ↗

Green Lung 2.0 (GL2.0): Developing TNR as an urban "green lung" for community and nature recovery

Tewkesbury Nature Reserve Ltd

£250,000

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage

About this award

Tewkesbury Nature Reserve (TNR) needs to step-change three interconnected domains of its work to transform its care of the Reserve’s natural heritage. (1) Transforming eco-stewardship by local communities: delivered through a progressive behaviour change programme that promotes learning for sustainability and increased care of nature. Delivery of TNR’s Learning/Outreach Strategy requires inspirational, longitudinal engagement of diverse local communities, attending to access/inclusion. Providing stability for TNR’s Learning and Outreach/Team-leader post would transform quality of TNR’s delivery, while supporting development of new groups: Lead Volunteers and Community Nature Guardians. (2) Transforming citizen science monitoring: would deliver valuable, locally-owned, scientific data to underpin evidence-based, risk-informed, reserve management, and create a larger, better trained and more motivated volunteer base to play key roles in TNR. (3) Transforming governance: involves strengthening TNR’s organisational resilience (environmental, social, governance) and upskilling trustees, other volunteers and staffing, with major benefits for natural heritage and communities the charity serves.
