Avon Hansen-Beadle and The Hibiscus Yukes
Avon Hansen-Beadle and friends get together every week to sing and play the ukelele.
They call themselves The Hibiscus Yukes and they meet at a community centre in Orewa, north of Auckland.
These weekly sessions give the budding musicians the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends and have lots of fun.
Avon has been a carer herself for many years and there are several people in the goup who care for a family member at home.
