We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful team of volunteers at Lotus. 💛
A big thank you to Adelle, who so capably manages our listing with Givit — a platform that connects people and organisations to give and receive donations.

Thanks to Givit and an incredibly generous anonymous donor, we’re pleased to have received much-needed supplies to distribute to people sleeping rough in our community. It’s always a great moment unpacking the goodies when they arrive, and knowing they’ll make a real difference.

Thank you for helping us support our community with care and dignity.

AUSTRALIA DAY celebrations.

With thanks to Ash for the nomination, along with all our volunteers who make up Lotus, our work would not be possible without you!

We did not take out the award but it is a privilege to stand beside so many worthy community groups doing great things for our people and environment.

Congratulations to Backpack Buddies who did receive the award for Active Citizenship – Group or Event 2026, providing food for the weekends for families who would otherwise be going hungry during this time that other services are closed.

Well done Mandurah, you make us proud with the collective contribution to our region 🪷

Red Cross took food donations and distributed hampers at The Forum prior to and after Xmas, wrapping up operations just last week. Many individuals and families benefited from their efforts.
Lotus is grateful to accept left over items which we will distribute to those in need for over the next few weeks.
Thank you Red Cross for all you do in our community.

Call for Volunteers – February Training
Are you interested in making a meaningful difference in our community?
The next Lotus Volunteer Training begins in February and runs over four full days, held one day per week. This training is an essential step for anyone wishing to volunteer with us and is also a powerful opportunity for personal growth.
Throughout the program, you’ll take part in thoughtful, supportive conversations and practical learning, including:
• Bias and judgement
• Cultural awareness
• Listening skills and self-care
• Myths of homelessness
• Practical tools such as form completion for social housing and the By Name List.

Even if these topics feel familiar, new group dynamics often bring fresh insights. We’d love you to join us.

This four-day journey is designed to build both the professional skills needed to volunteer with Lotus and your own self-awareness. Growth happens in groups, and our sessions are shaped by evolving, transformative conversations.

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, we invite you to visit our website to learn more about our work in homelessness and disadvantage. As an Assertive Outreach Worker, no qualifications are required. Qualified counsellors seeking experience or wanting to give back to the community are also welcome.

Training dates:
Wednesdays | 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th February | 9am-4pm each day
(Attendance on all four days is required to be eligible to volunteer, and a Mandurah venue will be determined based on enrolment numbers.)

To register or for more information, please contact us:

We extend our gratitude to the City of Mandurah for the funding to deliver this training.

We’re enjoying a few days at Mandurah Forum, wrapping gifts for Christmas shoppers. Thank you to all of our students and volunteers for joining in and helping to raise funds to keep the doors open in our outreach work with people experiencing homelessness, in addition to providing free counselling.
Thank you also to the Forum staff for your support and the generosity of the public 🪷💕

Our work can be tough at times, we hear stories that no person should ever go through, but today we were blessed to share the joy of a beautiful couple who visited specifically to tell us the story of their engagement. You brightened our day, thank you. May you continue to travel this life with the love and dedication you currently share despite the struggles you’re going through. I look forward to more good news for you in the near future 🪷

Well done Madsen for bringing together the Mandurah Toy Run once more despite your own personal struggles.
