Hello Project - www.thehelloproject.nz

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

Look out for your neighbours. Check in if something seems awry. Save lives of the 180,000 elderly Kiwis who live alone.

Look out for your neighbours. Check in if something seems awry. Save lives of the 180,000 elderly Kiwis who live alone.
180,000 elderly live alone in Aotearoa who need the support of their neighbours and loved ones to keep an eye on them. The Hello Project was created to encourage Kiwis to not only look out for each other, but to make a plan and get to know the warning signs when something might be wrong. Because if something looks wrong, it usually is. It’s knowing the warning signs that can save a life.

On 8 September 2021, the reality struck close to home for Greg Partington, the Founder of the Hello Project, when he found his mother, Mary, lying on her kitchen floor. She’d suffered a debilitating stroke to the left side of her brain. Distressed, hurt and unable to move, she lay there alone for 20 hours. Not through any lack of care, but there were signals that all was not well. Her home lights were blaring all night as was the TV. She died in hospital 8 days later.


In loving memory of Mary Josephone Partington.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this social media thing, but I’ve been in the musical industry all my life. I’ve decided to give back my knowledge and offer lessons so I can teach a simple and easy method of playing keyboards and guitar.

My name is Howard (The Music Man). I’ve played in bands and learned many instruments in my life. Just to name some.. keyboard, guitar and mandolin.

You don’t need to be able to read music or learn scales, or know Mozart’s 7th Symphony! If you can count to 12 and know you abc’s you will be able to learn any song that you like. I can also teach vocal harmonies.

Feel free to phone or message me with any questions, at any time on 0272 619-775.
