our supporters –
community organisations,
and our volunteers
Literacy Network supporters
We are an organisation managed by its volunteers.
Literacy Network remains indebted to the volunteers who give their time (and personally donated resources) to maintain and manage the network: the tutors, the tutor trainers and management team, our president, treasurer, secretary, website officer, grants officer, librarians and general committee members.
Through the last difficult Coronavirus years, we have continued to support our students either face-to-face (when appropriate) or by online ‘zoom’ lessons. We have also been able to train additional tutors.
To our corporate supporters
Thank you, your grant monies from 2019 enabled us to continue our teaching and training programmes and our community support during 2019-2022.
We acknowledge Northern Beaches Council and the service organisations in the Manly Warringah are who have assisted us over many years. During 2022 and the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 we relied on their support. The monies we received enabled us to develop new projects, defray the expense of premises used for teaching and tutor training, and to purchase new student and tutor resources.
We would also like to thank the Community Centres and Libraries of the Northern Beaches for distributing our flyers, providing a venue for our student-tutor meetings, and for their referrals to LitNet.
Northern Beaches Council
We gratefully acknowledge the ongoing community grant support of Northern Beaches Council. We thank their staff for their help and encouragement, and their acknowledgment of the services we provide to the community.
