Living It Up Community provides founder-led, non-clinical psychosocial support for adults with complex and changing needs. We work at the participant’s pace, keep communication clear and focus on practical outcomes that matter day to day.
Support shaped around everyday life
Daily living and routines
Support to plan, organise and complete everyday tasks, establish workable routines and reduce overwhelm.
1
Appointments and community access
Preparation, transport and in-person support to access health appointments, local services and community activities.
2
Care-team collaboration
With consent, we share practical updates, follow up agreed actions and document functional support needs for the wider team.
3
Support through change
Calm, structured support during periods of stress, transition or instability, within our non-clinical role.

Kitchen Learning Block | Four-Hour 1:1 Support
More than a traditional cooking class, each block follows the whole functional process—from planning and preparation through to completing the task and recovering afterwards.
Participants can build practical skills in:
Meal planning and preparation
Shopping and budgeting
Organisation and sequencing
Communication and asking for help
Using kitchen equipment safely
Managing unfamiliar environments
Routines, transitions and task completion
Participants work at their own pace and can engage with other people at a level that feels manageable. A shared meal at the end is optional.
Real people. Real life. Respectful support.
Participant-led
We do not rush, pressure or take over. Support is built around the person, their communication needs, their goals and what is happening in their life now.
Trauma-informed
Choice, control and consent guide each step.
Safety, trust and predictability are prioritised.
Practical
We focus on barriers and tasks in the participant’s real environment.
Connected
Clear updates help families, carers and providers work together.

Starting support
A clear, human referral process
How do I make a referral?
Complete our referral enquiry form and tell us who needs support, what assistance they are looking for and the best person for LIU to contact.
1
What happens after I submit the referral?
2
A member of the LIU team will make contact to listen and learn more about the participant’s current needs, goals, preferences, availability and funding arrangements.
No. A referral is an enquiry rather than a confirmed service. We consider whether LIU has the right worker, availability and service capacity to provide safe and suitable support.
Will submitting a referral guarantee that LIU can provide support?
3
How will support begin?
If LIU and the participant agree that the service is a suitable fit, we will confirm consent, service arrangements, costs, scheduling and any relevant safety or accessibility needs before support begins.
4
Can the participant be involved in planning their support?
5
Yes. Participants are encouraged to communicate their preferences, choose how they would like to engage and be involved in decisions about how support begins.
What if LIU is not the right fit?
We will communicate this clearly and respectfully. Where appropriate and within our role, we may suggest discussing other options with the participant’s Support Coordinator, nominee or care team.
