What we do:

Lotus group is a coordinated self-help/ mutual support collective of people most of whom identify with having a neurological challenge but carers and supporters are also welcome to join the group. When funding allows Lotus Group develops community awareness raising workshops, information sessions and events. The group meets fortnightly providing mutual support (and more regularly when organising events) in Ross House 247 Flinders Lane not far from Flinders Street Station.
Lyn Macdonald who is a tertiary qualified and experienced coordinator coordinates Lotus Group. Lyn also has disabilities and encourages and supports group members to participate and take leadership roles including self-advocacy when participating in project development teams.
Group members improve skills and grow greater self-confidence from shared group participation. There is no cost to attend and this will continue throughout 2023. We have group “come and try ” days and newcomers are always welcome but best to confirm we are still meeting by phoning or texting Lyn on 0413239236 Referrals from support workers and allied health workers very welcome. Carers welcome. Inquiries Lyn Macdonald 0413239236 or email lotusgroupabi@gmail.com
Lotus Group Projects Inc is a member of Collective of Self-Help Groups (COSHG) who provides advice and support for the group.
