Women and men of all ages gathered at Futures House, Marsh Farm, to celebrate International Women’s Day on Saturday 9th March 2019, raising over £600 for Luton Women’s charity, Stepping Stones.
With special guest, Luton Mayor, Cllr Naseem Ayub, speakers at the special celebration included professionals, survivors and inspirational women from all walks of life. Various exhibitors had stands and were on hand to speak to the hundreds of people who attended about life, health and business issues.
