The Youth Councillors also held a stall within Luton Point over half term, raising awareness of the signs of Domestic Abuse in correlation to Luton Council and Womens Aid’s Raising Red and Flying Green Campaign. We engaged with nearly 90 members of the public in conversation around warning signs, support services and available and writing positive messages to survivors.  Thank you to all those who came and spoke to us!  If you or someone you know may be suffering from Domestic Abuse, please reach out to https://womensaidinluton.org/ who can support those of all genders.
