Julie's story

After reaching out to Kinimathatakinta/George Town Library for help with her reading and maths, Julie can now do many things that have changed her life, such as going into a supermarket with confidence and being able to read the prices of things. Julie can now also read to her children and grandchildren and help them with their homework.

Bluegum Grounds Maintenance - improving safety at work

"I think that the guys have actually bonded a lot better because of their understanding. [They've] not only learned to understand the policies and procedures more, but because of that, they've helped each other, and so the whole atmosphere in the last six months has changed in a very positive way."

Jasson's story as an adult learner

"I have really enjoyed being able to read the newspaper and so I am now able to talk to others about news articles I have read."
