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:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
