Mandy and Kate recap their recent trip to Parliament House to celebrate all things neighbours and belonging and connection with the excellent people from Neighbours Every Day – Relationships Australia’s social connection campaign.

Neighbours Every Day aims to help create and share belonging across Australia, and build the inclusive communities you want to live in, one relationship at a time. Kate and Mandy are Neighbours Every Day Ambassadors and flew up to Canberra to celebrate the launch of their national day of action – Neighbour Day on Sunday March 31.

They also chat all about types of neighbour-related stuff – good neighbours during COVID lockdowns, calling your neighbours if you need them, what happens when you move and don’t have the energy to meet your new neighbours, what our neighbours might think if out peashoots have difficult behaviours etcetc

Mandy and Kate also give a big shout out to Sam from Neighbours Every Day who is a huge supporter of the Peas – thanks Sam!

Join the annual day of action on March 31! Neighbour Day provides the perfect opportunity to increase social connection in your local areas. You can celebrate in a variety of ways including hosting or supporting events that assist and engage your communities.

Rachael connected online with other Angelman Syndrome parents and developed new and supportive friendships, leading to her role in the association. The Association provides support, information, education, networking, research promotion and advocacy for people and families affected by the syndrome.

We also learn that Robbie is a gentle and beautiful boy, he loves holding hands and touching faces, he’s patient and works incredibly hard at his therapies, he’s a good big brother and and loves music!

Kate and Mandy chat to Lewis from northwest Tasmania, a lovely young guy who studies media and communications andruns YouTube channel Lewlyfe. Lewis is part of the pea community as he was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate.

Lewis talks about growing up managing all the challenges of multiple surgeries, speech therapy and regular check ups with a whole range of doctors and specialists. Primary school was not much fun as he went to a sporty school when he wasn’t into sports, but he found his feet and a loving and supportive community at high school, where his friends loved drama and music as much as he did.

Lewis also talks about the impact on his mum and dad, their work in supporting other cleft families, and the support and kindness the whole family received from their church community. Kate and Mandy were also extra impressed to hear the news that Lewis’ dad owns an IGA supermarket, given they’re both very frequent shoppers at their local.

Lewis also talks about making the decision to no longer undergo further surgeries, as he’s happy and confident as he is. Lewis is focused on studying, running his YouTube channel and staying involved in his local community.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Lewis!
