Welcome to Lotus Families: one-to-one & group support for women affected by domestic abuse
Lotus Families is a small, women-centred charity based in East Sussex, dedicated to the prevention of abuse and violence against women and girls (VAWG), and supporting survivors on their journey to long-term recovery. For 30 years, we have specialised in working with women and their children, delivering trauma-informed services through a team that includes practitioners with lived experience of domestic abuse.
We provide holistic, specialist support through both one-to-one and group based recovery programmes. Our approach focuses on early intervention, prevention and empowering women to rebuild their lives, strengthen resilience and create safer, healthier futures for themselves and their families.
Our mission is to break cycles of abuse and foster a society free from violence. We achieve this by offering trauma-informed prevention, recovery, advocacy, and education for women, children, and families.
We envision a world where women, children, and families can create resilient, abuse-free futures, living safely, with dignity, self-determination, and hope.
