Welcome to Lotus Volunteering Team

You have received this form as you have shown interest in becoming one of our valued Volunteers of LOTUS.

OUR NAME:

LOTUS "Living Organically for your true Unique Self "~ specifically for long term chronic & invisible illness and non-specific cancer sufferers, mental health & carers of those individuals.

• To educate and uplift participants in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment, integrating organic and alternative holistic treatments & modalities.
• We aim to educate on the importance of lowering toxic overload on already compromised immune systems, addressing the mind, body, and soul levels.
• Our goal is to raise self-esteem and empower the chronic illness community.

Below are Volunteer Guidelines that all of our Team must agree to uphold.

Please read through and complete details

As a not-for-profit association with an Organic & Holistic Program, we are bound by legislation and our own Constitution. We are required to have regular quarterly meetings during which all program initiatives must be AUTHORISED & VOTED for by our Committee Members. Meeting content is to be received two weeks prior, and attendance is not compulsory.

Our program strictly aims to 'offer a pamper day as a respite from chronic illness' and to 'support the chronic illness, mental health & disabled community', including the carers of these individuals.

We provide information and a variety of holistic modalities, but in no way do we solely endorse these treatments; they are offered solely for informative education.

At all times, we strongly recommend that participants inform their medical practitioners/teams about all supplements or treatments they undergo and consult with them before undertaking any holistic treatment.
