OUR STORY
Lou’s Place opened in 1999 in Kings Cross, offering a unique, community-based drop-in centre for women in crisis, feeling isolated or needing support. Moving to Redfern in 2021 allowed Lou's Place to expand its services, offering more space for gathering, work, meals, showers, and case management for women experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, mental health issues and addiction. Most of the women who visit Lou’s Place have experienced multiple traumas in their lives
Lou’s Place receives no government funding and relies on the generous support of Lou’s friends, donors and corporate partners.
