Mike's story

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

Tom's path to literacy

“You know you want to do something about it and that now is the time to do it. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how young you are, but … once you’ve started you get the confidence that you, y’know, that you can, and it builds up from that, it just builds up and builds up.”

Colin from Sorell shares the rewards of being an adult literacy tutor volunteer

"It is satisfying to see clients grow in confidence and self-esteem as new skills are learnt and goals achieved, things which they previously may have thought were unobtainable."

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.
