Pandemic playing a big part says charity
Referrals to a local charity which supports the victims of crime have spiked due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Victim Support says it's put 'enormous pressure' on the service.
In the three months from June to September last year referrals went up by 85 per cent compared to the three months prior.
Jenny Grainger is the newly appointed chair and says there will also be a knock on effect from the latest lockdown:
