The YiaYia Next Door

Article from Relationships Australia.

Relationships Australia has announced two new Neighbours Every Day Ambassadors, brothers Daniel and Luke Mancuso, founders of YiaYia Next Door.

YiaYia Next Door was inspired by Daniel and Luke Mancuso’s Greek neighbour, Yiayia, who shared meals with them over the fence in response to their mother being murdered at home by their father. They set up an Instagram page to share Yiayia’s efforts and kindness with friends and it fast grew a following of more than eighty-five thousand people.

Their bestselling cookbook YiaYia Next Door was published this year and continues to spread their message about the power of simple gestures to transform lives and restore hope.

Today, their social enterprise supports and inspires communities where people feel safe, and neighbours connect and care. Daniel and Luke are committed to inspiring kindness and encouraging people to ‘love thy neighbour’ as the most powerful antidote to violence. Their vision is an Australia where people experiencing family violence feel supported.

YiaYia Next Door continues to make donations and support people who are experiencing family violence. With every purchase from their range, including their cookbook, a percentage of the profits is donated to their chosen charities.
