Launched by Luton Point (formerly The Mall Luton), this is a podcast focussing on life within the Luton community. The podcast covers a number of topics surrounding everyday life in the town, finding out about those within the community who make others’ lives easier, safer and happier. The Luton Life podcast aims to provide a voice for the Luton community covered through question-and-answer sessions with local journalist Sophie Sulehria. Listeners can expect to hear real-life stories straight from the community, with real-life answers to questions which many will be able to relate to. Future editions will feature a focus on independent retailers, plus local charities and projects like Keech Hospice Care and the Big Trunk Trunk Trail, and Level Trust, all talking about their contribution to the town. Access to community services such as Luton Foodbank or Level Trust will be covered in an open and friendly way which those in need can benefit from. An industry first which has been fully curated and funded by Luton Point, all podcast sessions will be available to listen to for free through Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

To coincide with the start of Mental Health Week, today (10th May) we've released the second edition of our new podcast - Luton Life.
This episode shines the light on local support services and explores the stigma around mental health.
To understand more about how the issue is being tackled at a local level, Luton Life host Sophie Sulehria spoke to the Crisis Café team at Mind BLMK, as well as our own staff here from The Mall Luton.
In the episode Sophie visited Mind BLMK to find out how they have supported the community over the past year and are continuing to provide essential services to a growing number of people.
Working across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes to promote positive mental health and wellbeing, Mind BLMK is attached to the national charity Mind. The Crisis Cafe in Luton opened their doors in 2020 and offers an alternative approach to help empower people, offer face to face advice and have a safe space to go.
Anyone can visit the Crisis Café, making it easily accessible with no forms to complete, just instant support. The café has an open-door policy for anyone who is facing a mental health crisis and is in need of urgent help.
