TasCOSS's story
TasCOSS (Tasmanian Council of Social Services Inc) has been a member of the 26Ten Network since 2015.
“TasCOSS is a huge supporter of the crucial work of 26Ten.
We know from conversations with communities across Tasmania that low levels of literacy and numeracy prevent a great deal of Tasmanians from engaging more fully in life, whether that’s in education, in work, and getting the health care they need.
We support 26Ten’s aim of ensuring that all adults have the reading, writing and communication skills they need to live a life that’s of value to them.”

Scott's digital literacy journey
"I was so proud of myself because I sent five words to her to say how was she going, or how are you ... and now, you just do the motions on it, and you don't even know you've sent it. Yeah, thumbs up, go for it. It sounds scary, some of it still is scary for me, but go outside your comfort zone, just get into it."
The secret is, you've just got to put your hand up and ask for help
"26Ten is a good idea. People out there should know that there's opportunities available for them. All the infrastructure is there. All they have to do is walk in and put their hand up."
