About The Project
Multiply was a free adult numeracy programme funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The programme was designed to help adults improve their confidence and ability with numbers in a practical, supportive and accessible way.
Rather than focusing on formal mathematics qualifications, Multiply encouraged learning through engaging activities that demonstrated how numeracy can be applied in everyday life, work and personal finances.
​
Through a range of tailored activities, participants developed greater confidence with numbers while strengthening the skills needed to manage everyday tasks, make informed financial decisions and progress towards employment, education or training.
