'I spent lockdown in a women's refuge'

Jane spent years being verbally and physically abused by her partner before she finally felt strong enough to leave.

She found a place in a West Midlands refuge just before lockdown.

The Women's Aid charity, which helped her, said it was seeing more people in need of a safe place as lockdown restrictions eased.

It has been given extra funding to expand its services.
