We attended a Men’s Health Awareness event in Dunstable

Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire, as the local consumer champion for health and social care, hosted the Men’s Health Awareness event in partnership with Chiltern Hills PCN. It was held at Grove View Integrated Health and Care Hub in Dunstable. The Disability Resource Centre was one of over 20 organisations at the event.

The Disability Resource Centre attended, with Abbey Barlow running our stand, providing information to the attendees throughout the event. Abbey had many people asking for help from our charity including our Carers Central support service for unpaid carers in Luton.
