Working Life and Homelessness

Life and economics in the South West.

Here we have some harder hitting titles from the SWFTA collection at The Box, revealing what it's like to live in the South West during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Several stories explore issues around work life / home life balance, while we also see people struggling with redundancy, mental health issues, rural homelessness, tax and recession. But it's not all doom and gloom: there are also uplifting news stories of entrepreneurial spirit, people discussing the economic growth of the South-West, a fit-for-work awards ceremony and a dentist's office opening its doors in order to debunk myths that all dentists are scary.
