Mike's story

Mike shares his story about working with 26Ten and the positive changes it has made in his life.

Staying connected in the shadow of the pandemic

"I survived COVID-19 by fishing. Because I fish alone. This pandemic has not affected me. I like my fishing. I try and go when I can. The free fishing guide is a great place to start learning about local fishing."

Kelly's story as an adult learner in George Town

"My family are so proud of me for working so hard and have seen a difference in me. So my advice is to go for what you love and be happy. Don't try and do it on your own, always ask for help even if you think you can't do it, keep trying."

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.
