Citizens Advice turns 85, having been set up in the days after the start of World War II. Since 1939, Citizens Advice has been helping people find a way forward working on the issues that affect every single one of us

Citizens Advice Luton is proud to be part of the Citizens Advice network. We have been providing vital support to people in Luton for over 30 years.

Record numbers of people are turning to us for help as the country faces its biggest cost-of-living crisis in decades. Last year we helped over 11,500 people with over 70,000 issues. Demand for our Adviceline has more than tripled with calls from people in crisis over soaring costs for energy and everyday essentials. We’re helping hundreds of clients per year with crisis support - like accessing food banks and emergency charitable support. Demand that shows no signs of slowing down.

The annual cost of providing our services is increasing. As a charity, every penny counts.
