Bank of us's story

“At Bank of us we are proud to be a member of the 26Ten network.

As a 100% Tasmanian owned bank, we understand the real need to support Tasmanians to improve literacy and numeracy as these are the foundation of financial wellness. Bank of us CEO, Paul Ranson said 26Ten Week 2023 was an opportunity to focus on simple steps people can take to build their confidence with their finances.”

Clarence Plains 26Ten Community

The Clarence Plains 26Ten Community works to support parents and carers to improve their reading, writing, spelling and maths skills. This gives parents and carers the confidence to support their children’s learning.

The benefits and joy for all of training in the workplace

"It changes their world. It takes people from 'oh this is as good as it gets,' to 'well maybe I could do something more than this.' And that's magic. So if your organisation has any possibility of getting a 26Ten project, run with it."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
