SPOTLIGHT ON A
GRANT RECIPIENT
Tom and Tara in the limelight
| FRANS' Tom Maxwell and Tara Elliffe with Olympic swimmer Grant Hackett |
A twice-over Future2 Grant recipient, FRANS was Future2's guest on 16-17 November at the Financial Planning Association conference in Brisbane. Tom Maxwell and Tara Elliffe, with FRANS CEO Jerry McNamara, attended the FPA Professionals' dinner at which Olympic swimmer Grant Hackett was guest speaker, along with Future2 Chair Steve Helmich and Jerry.
The highlight of the evening for Tom and Tara, who have participated in a range of FRANS programs since the age of 3, was their meeting with Grant. Both are now preparing to leave home to live independently in the community and have benefited from the Future2-funded financial literacy program run by FRANS.
Tom and Tara addressed hundreds of delegates attending the conference, impressing them with their great confidence and positive outlook.
Since 1983 FRANS has been making things happen for people wth disabilities in Sydney's inner west.
