20.01.2022 OUR BIG NEWS: NHT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING NDIS ILC FUNDING! New Horizons Tasmania are incredibly proud to announce that we have been successful in the last NDIS National ILC funding round. NHT are now able to activate some incredibly exciting projects (including establishing a dedicated resource on the North-West Coast!!!), while we continue to explore transitioning some of our programs to align with the NDIS (for long-term viability). Our members, volunteers a...nd supporters know that it has been an incredibly stressful few years, as we've given it our ALL to ensure the future of our incredible organisation. Thank you so much to our superb community - you are THE BEST crew anyone could wish for. There were so many smiles today at the clubhouse (including on the faces of the local media contingent) as Bridget Archer MP - Liberal Member for Bass (who has been a powerful advocate for NHT) shared our happy news!

We've had an especially lovely morning at our Launceston Craft group, with a visit from Tas Turf Club CEO Natalie Waters, dropping off a HUGE cheque donation for $3,635.00!
