• Big Squeeze 2013
  This year we are planning to undertake our annual Big Squeeze survey in September 2013. We will be collecting data about the effects of the recession and subsequent policy decisions on Londoners and the voluntary and community sector groups that work with them. This year we are also keen to look at the impacts of welfare reforms in London.

  The Government's welfare reform proposals will impact disproportionately on the most vulnerable Londoners. As private sector rents continue to rise, more and more neighbourhoods in the capital are becoming unaffordable to households claiming benefits.
