The Hello project to help out older neighbours

From Afternoons, 1:40 pm on 21 December 2022

With most of us rushing around preparing for the holidays, it feels like there are very few moments left in the day.  But my next guest wants to encourage us to take just a few seconds for some of our older neighbours.

The Hello project is promoting the value of a simple "Hello".

Greg Partington can usually be found making ads for TV - and when tragedy struck his own life he turned to what he does best - making adverts - to try to make a difference and prevent the same thing happening to another family.  

He's created an ad campaign to encourage us to say hello and periodically check in with the older members of our community.
