CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

We are open and able to offer help and support by phone or email. Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, our actual centre is currently only open to our clients receiving counselling, and closed to most other visitors. This applies to all activities that usually take place on our premises or in any person-to-person environment.

We are still here for you. If you need our vital support during this difficult time, we are at the end of the phone, so please call us on 01582 416783 or email [email protected].

Bereavement support

We know that many people will be trying to deal with a bereavement due to COVID-19 and we extend our condolences to anyone going through this. There is lots of support available locally and nationally, both for people facing a bereavement personally and for professionals who may be supporting them.

What we do

Luton All Women’s Centre (LAWC) has been supporting women and girls living in Luton and Bedfordshire since the early 1990s. Offering a wide-range of advisory, information, practical and holistic support services, our aim is to challenge gender inequality and empower women and girls to enjoy lives that are safer, healthier and fairer.
Counselling

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, abuse, bereavement or any other distressing issue in your life, it can be easy to feel alone or that everything has moved beyond your point of control. Counselling provides the opportunity to talk with someone about how you’re feeling in a wholly supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment. At Luton All Women’s Centre, professional counselling is an ongoing and vital part of the holistic support we offer to our clients.
Domestic abuse

Almost 30% of women in England and Wales say they have experienced domestic violence/abuse since the age of 16. If you are affected by this issue, Luton All Women's Centre is there to help.
