Ship Ahoy! Clients at Eskleigh have had the opportunity to experience sailing in and around the Tamar River thanks to Sailability Tasmania.

Sailability is a voluntary non-profit organisation that aims to provide a safe and friendly environment where people of all abilities are accepted and encouraged to participate in the sport of sailing.

Sailing is just one of the many activities you could participate in as part of Eskleigh’s Community Access program and supported by our qualified, caring professionals.

Eskleigh celebrates National Pyjama Day

Eskleigh celebrates National Pyjama Day

Clients and Support Team members at Eskleigh celebrated national Pyjama Day last week.

Fun was had by all that got dressed up (or down) for this charity fundraising day and to support the Pyjama Foundation and their ‘Love of Learning Program’ which is offered to children in foster care.

Donations were collected by our wonderful clients, Wendy and Katrina who did a fantastic job, with all donations going toward providing children their very own special Pyjama Angel mentor who empowers them with learning, life skills and confidence to change the direction of their life.

We also took the opportunity to enjoy some well-earned Pampering!

What a wonderful outing and day to make some memories.

Our footy mad residents and staff recently attended the Hawthorn vs Essendon match on Sunday 20th June
at UTAS stadium.

Accessing the community once again, our Hawks and Bombers fans Katrina, David, Steven, Lawrence, Peter and Patrick rugged up in their footy gear and were treated to a heart stopping game.

The bombers took out the win leaving Patrick one happy man with the final scores - Hawks 73 Essendon 86.

A very big thanks as always to our awesome support crew Caitlin, Jodie, Andrew, Talinah and Robbie in assisting our clients to live their best life.

New vehicles join our fleet

New vehicles join our fleet

Eskleigh is the proud owner of two brand new all accessible vans that will join our fleet of accessible vehicles, ensuring our clients can access a range of support services safely, comfortably and conveniently.

A special thank you to the Bruce Wall Charitable Trust for their generous donation of one of the new vehicles. It is the generosity of individuals, organisations and foundations such as this that enables Eskleigh to continue its important work in the community enabling people with disability to live independent and fulfilling lives.

Eskleigh services can be funded through the NDIS, MAIB or privately and we can provide support for children and adults across a broad range of abilities.

The Eskleigh Foundation is seeking Expressions of Interest from passionate and creative individuals to join our Fundraising Committee. Eskleigh is a registered charitable organisation that has provided accommodation and support to Tasmanian’s with disability for over 70 years. Although Eskleigh is funded for services through various Government programs, we do rely on donations and fundraising activities to continue to provide the best quality of life to our clients and residents.

Fundraising Committee is responsible for the following key areas:

  • Increasing the membership of the Eskleigh Association

  • Promoting Eskleigh in the broader community

  • Coordination of fundraising activities, including two major events per year

Aspiring members will have a genuine passion for making a difference, be community minded and possess a positive/‘can do’ attitude. Previous experience with fundraising is desirable but not essential. It is anticipated that Committee meetings will be held bi-monthly but potentially more frequent depending on activities. Members will be required to obtain a National Police Check and hold a Working with Vulnerable People Card.

Please send your expression of interest to dlowe@eskleigh.com.au, with a brief letter outlining your suitability and motivation for becoming a member.
