Mailing list research

I decided that my address list would include those in area's of very low christianity, those in an area in which christianity is high, and those in a multi-cultural area to gain several opinions - as thats the purpose of my product, to gain a range of opinions about the topic 'Christianity is decline, but does it even matter?'. I found a website which gave many stats and percentages:

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/profiles/commentaries/ethnicity.asp

There are 37.3 million people in England and Wales who state their religion as Christian. The percentage of Christians is similar between the two countries but the proportion of people who follow other religions is 6.0 per cent in England compared with 1.5 per cent in Wales.

The English region with the highest proportion of Christians is the North East (80.1 per cent). 

Fifty-eight per cent of people in London gave their religion as Christian, with the highest proportion in the borough of Havering (76 per cent).

Sixteen per cent of the population of London say they have no religion, including 25 per cent in the City of London.

In Wales, the highest proportion of Christians is found on the Isle of Anglesey (79 per cent) and the fewest in Blaenau Gwent (64 per cent).

Outside London, the counties with the highest proportion of Christians are Durham, Merseyside and Cumbria, each with 82 per cent or more. The districts with the highest proportions of Christians are all in the North West: St Helens, Wigan and Copeland (Cumbria) each have 86 per cent or more.

The district with the highest proportion of Sikhs is Slough. One person in seven of the population of Leicester is Hindu.

My research found that:

The region of the highest proportion of Christians is the north-east.

The highest area of christians within london is in Havering, at 76%.

In wales the highest area of Christianity is on the isle of Anglesey at 79%, and the lowest in Blaenau at 64%

Outside of London, the highest area's of christianity is Durham, Merseyside and Cumbria each with 82% or more.

I found Leicester to be very multicultural with 1 in 7 people being Hindu.




Next, I'm going to find Christian related buildings (churches, related charities etc) and educational practices within each of the area's to mail my designs to, to gain various responses.
