About Us

Our Background


Function Lifestyle Day Supports was founded by Kirsty Armstrong, an experienced Occupational Therapist, in response to the limitations of traditional programs. Recognising that these programs were often generic and required individuals with disabilities to conform to preexisting group activities, Kirsty sought to create a service that prioritised meaningful and engaging experiences tailored to each participant’s interests and needs. 


Function Lifestyle Day Supports celebrates each individual through innovative, tailored schedules that reflect their unique needs, interests, and goals. By breaking away from the one-size-fits-all model, we strive to spark joy, foster growth, and promote inclusion—ensuring each person is valued as a vibrant individual at the centre of their own journey.

Our Values


At Function Lifestyle Day Supports, our values guide every interaction and shape the support we provide, ensuring participants lead their best lives:


  • Connection: Building strong relationships with our participants, their families, close support networks, and the broader community.
  • Person-Centredness: Empowering individuals by placing their needs and desires at the core of their program.
  • Creativity: Encouraging creative expression and finding innovative ways to engage.
  • Therapeutic: Enhancing psychological, emotional, and social well-being through therapeutic techniques.

Our Logo


The red dot in our logo symbolises the individual at the heart of everything we do, while the coloured overlapping circles represent the various factors that influence an individual, recognizing that everyone has different factors that that influence who they are. These circles could be their environment, their sensory preferences, cognitive function, physical ability, social situation or any other influences that make us unique individuals. 


At Function Lifestyle Day Supports, we embrace and celebrate the rich diversity of every individual. By recognising the unique interplay of factors that shape each person’s life, we provide support that is respectful, thoughtful, and deeply personalised. Our approach honours the individuality of every participant, fostering a sense of belonging and empowering them to thrive in a way that is uniquely their own.
