The lockdown has changed all of our lives - in ways we could never have imagined.

It happened in a matter of days. One minute we were allowed to leave our homes at will, the next we were not.

Seeing friends and family has always been our right; but now we have been separated from the ones we love in the hope it will save lives.

And for many of us, being confined within the four walls of our homes has had dire consequences - financially, mentally or physically.

That could be from being placed on furlough or losing your job entirely, or from having to teach and entertain young children while trying your best to work from home.

Anyone who is not a key worker is now bound by four walls, for hours on end, everyday. This will have repercussions.

Some of us are experiencing anxiety, depression and loneliness for the first time in our lives and do not know where to turn. Others, who had previously found ways to manage their mental health issues, have had their world turned upside down. Counselling has been moved online and the usual ways of escape - visiting friends, going to the gym, attending support groups - have been taken away.

Grandparents, cut off from their families, now conduct heart-breaking conversations through their front room windows. They are unable to invite anyone inside to help and support them.

Special hotlines have been created as the lockdown restricts abuse victims to their homes, making them more vulnerable than ever.

Some parents, already struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, have seen their support networks taken away. And they faced new struggles, a life at home with their young children, with seemingly nowhere to turn.

For others, loneliness is dominating their lives. They just want someone to talk to.

This is why we are launching These Four Walls, a campaign which aims to inform, educate and share important, harrowing and inspiring stories from the coronavirus lockdown in Devon and Cornwall.

Each week we will be focusing on a different issue and raising money for a different charity, tonight we want to help First Light.

First Light is a charity that supports people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence in Devon and Cornwall. They help over 4,500 women, men and children each year. Their services offer practical and emotional help for victims at their time of most urgent need.
