Lockdown pressures create new challenges for charity
The pressure of prolonged confinement during the coronavirus lockdown has led to an increase in locals finding themselves needing new accommodation.
That's according to local charity Housing Matters, which offers advice and support to those facing housing challenges.
The Island's police have reported a 145% increase in domestic abuse since the start of the lockdown.
Director Donald Bailey says a range of issues can leave people looking for a new home:
IOM Medical Society opposes plans to implement an NHS levy
No changes to speed limit enforcement with new 20mph zones
MUA to undertake 'significant' refurb at Cringle Reservoir
RNLI reflects on a busy 2024
