UK - Benefits - Mother Louise Ryan out in Camden Town with her two children

Mother Louise Irwin-Ryan with her daughter Georgia (11, wearing a pink Lolita dress) and son Kiefer (8, wearing a red Liverpool Football Club kit) spending a day out together in Camden Town, North London. The kids here both decide to play on the side of the road trying to burst giant bubbles. Louise is on various benefits to help support her family income, and housing, although recent government changes to benefits may affect her family drastically, possibly meaning they may have to move out of London. Louise Ryan was born on the Wirral peninsula in 1970. She moved to London with her family in 1980. Having lived in both Manchester and Ireland, she now lives permanently in North London with her husband and two children. Through the years Louise has battled to recover from a serious motorcycle accident in 1992 and has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder.
