CatholicCare Tasmania - 26Ten Grant

CatholicCare Tasmania's story

With their 26Ten Workplace Grant, CatholicCare Tasmania employed an Adult Literacy Trainer to work with their Out of Home Care team. This provided their employees with the opportunity to improve their literacy and numeracy skills through a program that was designed specifically for them, and delivered in collaboration with Work & Training.

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.

Peter's award for adult literacy work

"Every step, that's a step forward. Even if it's two steps forward and one step back, every bit of progress goes toward building that person, and that's just a huge reward to see that."

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.
