Lindsay's story

Lindsay from Sorell tells us why he volunteers as an adult literacy tutor.

“Participating in the Adult Literacy Tutor Program helps me keep my mind active, alert and focused in my retirement. I enjoy helping people and watching them improve through their tutoring sessions. I also enjoy my students company.”

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.

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.
