The new 17sqm hub, funded through the government’s Smokefree Generation programme, provides a welcoming, accessible space where local people can drop in for health checks, stop smoking advice and wellbeing support. Staff will be on hand 7 days a week to provide advice and information to local people.
Services available at the hub include:
· On-site health checks such as blood pressure and carbon monoxide monitoring
· Confidential one-to-one quit smoking support in a private consultation room
· Interactive digital tools and up-to-date stop smoking and wellbeing advice
· Weight management advice and referrals into specialist programmes
· Information on Talking Therapies 121, group, courses and workshops

By making these services more accessible in a busy, central location, the hub will:
· Help residents improve their physical and emotional wellbeing
· Support more smokers to successfully quit
· Provide early intervention through health checks and referrals into pathways
· Reduce inequalities in health access
· Save households money, as healthier lifestyles and quitting smoking reduce living costs.
The hub directly supports the Luton 2040 vision of creatinga healthier, fairer towns where everyone can thrive.
