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.
42,327 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households38.2% · 16,155 households
Families with dependent children23.3% · 9,852 households
Other single-family households36.9% · 15,601 households
Other household types1.7% · 719 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.
90,043 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot13.6% · 12,216 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little14.3% · 12,842 people
Non-disabled72.2% · 64,985 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 ↗

Medical Motherhood – the experience of a new diagnosis of a child with Type 1 Diabetes as a mother
Grant to Individual
£4,911
Creative Scotland · Arts
About this award
What I want to do I will gather and document oral histories from mothers (and other primary carers, where relevant) of children diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, focusing on the diagnosis event and the following weeks of adjustment. I will record audio interviews with participants from a local Type 1 mothers’ support group (48 members in total), transcribe interviews, and develop a new artwork(s) for exhibition based on the collected testimonies. Why I want to do it / why it matters A child’s Type 1 diagnosis is a moment of profound rupture: it alters daily life, identity, relationships, work, and wellbeing. Mothers often describe shock, guilt, fear, grief and gratitude, alongside rapid learning of complex medical procedures and constant vigilance. This work is rarely documented as culture, despite its intensity and prevalence.
