Multiply is a UK Government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills. Numeracy is the ability to understand and use maths in daily life, home, and work.
That might be improving household finances, helping children with homework, making more sense of the stats and facts in the media, or improving numeracy skills specific to your line of work.
People who improve their numeracy skills are more likely to be in employment, have higher wages, and better wellbeing, and will be more able to progress to higher levels of free training to secure a skilled job in our economy.
There is a whole range of opportunities available to you through Multiply, including free darts sessions, cooking with numeracy, budgeting workshops, training around supporting your children and more.
There are group sessions, 1:1 support and online workshops available.
Multiply courses are very practical and can help people with things like doing homework with their children, cooking, measuring up for DIY projects, or even help with household budgeting.
