Charity support for victims of abuse

Abuse is unacceptable at any time and recent Government guidelines to stay home has increased reports of domestic abuse.

The Guardian reported that the national domestic abuse helpline, run by the charity Refuge, reported a 65% increase in calls on Saturday, 28 March 2020 compared with the same day the previous week.
