Welcome to Lotus
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 to supporting long-term recovery. For nearly 30 years, we have specialised in services for women with children. Our work is grounded in trauma-informed principles and delivered by a team that includes those with lived experience of domestic abuse.
We provide holistic, specialist support, including one-to-one and group-based recovery services. Our approach prioritises early intervention, prevention, and empowering survivors to rebuild their lives.
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.
Our Services
We run various group and one-to-one services, online and in person. We're here to help you find the best way forward for you. Our services are designed with your well-being in mind.
We can also connect you with other services. Our team includes friendly dedicated specialists and trained peer supporters who are here to support you every step of the way.
Every person who comes to Lotus Families has their own story. Some arrive feeling isolated, unheard, and unsure of what comes next. Many have been living with abuse for years, often without anyone recognising what they’ve been going through. Through trauma-informed support, group programmes, and ...peer connections, we help survivors rediscover their strength, rebuild confidence, and begin to feel safe again.
