A while back, we posted the first Real Life Reform report, which is tracking the impact of Welfare Reform on 100 people across Manchester through to 2015. They've actually been publishing reports every quarter, but we've just become aware of this, as the July update has been released (it includes links to the interim reports, too).
Unsurprisingly, it's a fairly bleak picture, with headlines including '12.5% have used a food bank at least once in the last 3 months', '3 out of 10 households spend less than £20 per week on food' and unemployed households seeing a 17% reduction in the money they have left after bills. Still, an interesting and informative read - click the link below to read the full report:
