Vision Australia would like to sincerely thank the Allport Bequest for the generous grant of $5,000. They have supported our Information Library Services for people aged over 80 who are blind, have low vision or a print disability and living in the greater Hobart area.
Tasmania has the oldest population in Australia and with around 60% of our library members in Greater Hobart aged 80 years and over, this funding has helped to provide books, newspapers, and everyday printed information to our members at risk of isolation due to vision loss and lack of mobility.
