Luton All Women's Centre (LAWC) supports women/ girls in Luton and Bedfordshire that are disadvantaged through situations such as domestic abuse, violence, coercion, forced marriage, honour-based violence and sexual exploitation. Our main objective is to develop and deliver specialist advice, information and intervention services which directly tackle these problems and improve the quality of life and wellbeing of those affected. This includes individual casework, counselling, mental health support, practical advice and access to relevant group support. Additionally, we carry out preventative/ educational work with young people in local schools and colleges, and provide training for other professionals across our community.

We are developing our new 3 year strategy and aim to have a wider remit going forward, that is about facilitating the development of work with women and gender equality across the Luton area, working with a wide range of stakeholders.
