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:
Onchan heading for full recount following petition from ex-MHK
Treasury 'always looking' at whether additional support packages are needed
Onchan MHK confident in 'integrity' of those involved in election process
"We've even found sharp knives": Charity shop appeal after donations left outside
