Multiply
Numeracy is about understanding and using maths in your daily life, whether at home, work, or school.
Multiply, a government-funded programme, is designed to help adults improve their numeracy skills. If you’re 19 or older and want support with maths, whether or not you have a maths GCSE at grade C (or equivalent), you can access FREE courses in your area.
Don’t let “numeracy” intimidate you; it’s not about complex equations or battling with algebra. It’s about feeling confident using basic maths in practical situations, which is more useful than you might think!
Numeracy is just as crucial as literacy for successfully navigating life and reaching your full potential.
Multiply for Individuals
Explore the practical side of mathematics in everyday life, such as budgeting, assisting with homework, understanding finances, managing diet and nutrition, and interpreting statistics and graphs in the news or at work.
Discover courses tailored for individuals, including Money Management, Baking by Numbers, Confidence-Boosting Maths, Numbers for Retail Work, and more.
Multiply for Businesses
Multiply extends its support to businesses by offering numeracy courses that cover essential topics like ratios, business numeracy, percentage discounts, cashflow calculations, and supporting staff in effective money management through budgeting.

Student Success Story
“M came to us on the recommendation of his employer as he was struggling to manage his earnings and showing signs of anxiety. He was invited to a four-week budgeting course and he attended every session. He had never worked out a budget before and struggled to make it to the end of the month without having to sacrifice some essential spending. He scored his confidence in dealing with money as ‘low’ at the start of the first session. By the last session his confidence was ‘high’, and he had enthusiasm about the next steps he was going to take to get his back accounts in order and his budget under control. He even had plans in place to save for a future holiday!” Acts Trust
