Opportunity for VCSE Organisations to help adults improve Numeracy with 'Multiply'
Multiply has launched across the UK.
Hartlepool Borough Council was named by Tees Valley Combined Authority as the Lead Body for the Tees Valley Multiply Programme (Community Led).
Since December 2022, the Council in partnership with the other Local Authorities and community organisations across Tees Valley have supported 1,569 adults to enhance their numeracy skills so they can understand and use maths in their daily lives, at home and in work. This has resulted in a range of innovative activities which have made a positive impact on local communities and confirmation has now been received that the programme will continue into year 2. The Multiply Programme is being funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and aims to support over 4,000 adults across Tees Valley.
There are free financial donations for Voluntary organisations who take part, along with free workshops to add enrichment with your client groups. You must complete an application form to join the Multiply project. If you are successful on your application, your organisation will receive £120 per participating adult in any Multiply activities delivered by your organisation.
The purpose of the programme is to enhance the numeracy skills of adults so they can understand and use maths in their daily lives, at home and in work. The provision is being funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and will support over 4,000 adults across Tees Valley.
This funding opportunity for VCSE organisations will initially be for the period to 31st March 2024 and focused on delivery of Outreach Focussed/Bitesize Activities.
