Domestic abuse
As you may have seen in the news, one of the many tragic consequences of the Coronavirus lockdown has been a large rise in domestic abuse. This is an issue that affects women, men, and children.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England & Wales has issued advice for parishes, encouraging our communities to raise awareness of the issue, to keep in contact with the vulnerable, and to support local organisations.
