Resolve Poverty are pleased to launch the North West Poverty Monitor, a new resource which reveals the scale and nature of poverty across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
The Poverty Monitor is a free, easy-to-navigate tool which provides data across six themes: poverty and deprivation, education, fuel and food insecurity, housing and homelessness, the labour market, and social security and debt.
It’s designed to equip you with the evidence you need to tackle socio-economic disadvantage in your own activities – from policy development, advocacy and campaigning through to writing funding applications and service design.
This year, following a rebrand and renewed strategy, Resolve Poverty have expanded their scope to cover the full North West region, as they seek to support and work with more places across the country to resolve poverty.
The data is presented through a combination of charts, maps and tables, including a number of interactive visualisations so that you can identify and compare specific data. Most figures are provided at a local authority level, and, where possible, at a more local level (e.g. electoral ward and lower super output area).
