To inform the implementation of the Opportunity Area and other programmes, Blackpool Council commissioned Alma Economics to undertake an analytical review to understand the key social mobility factors in Blackpool.

While social mobility can be defined in different ways, our report took a broad view and examined education, health, crime, and labour market transitions to understand the key issues affecting children and young people in Blackpool.

With a robust evidence base informed by community consultations, Opportunity Area Blackpool can identify key funding priorities to ensure that no one is left behind.
