Do you want to take control of your health and wellbeing? Join our Women's Health Information event

Women's Health needs can change at every stage of life, and many women tell us they are unsure where to find clear, accessible support.
We've brought together information on key topics - periods, fertility, mental health and menopause, to help you make informed decisions and know what services are available in our community.

You can also read our Women's Health Reports, where we share what local women have told us about their experiences and the changes they want to see.

This Healthwatch Luton Report shares the experiences of women in Luton when accessing healthcare for menopause. It highlights gaps in support, cultural and information barriers, and offers recommendations to improve awareness, access and care for women across the community.

This document presents a focused evaluation of period poverty among young women in Luton, carried out by Healthwatch Luton through engagement with students at Luton Sixth Form College. The evaluation forms part of a broader exploration of women’s health needs and aims to shed light on how period poverty affects access to education, health equity, and personal dignity.
The evaluation identifies key barriers experienced by young women, including the affordability of menstrual products, stigma surrounding menstruation, and a lack of awareness about existing support services. It also highlights how these issues disproportionately affect students from underrepresented and economically
disadvantaged backgrounds.
