How do you get involved?:

  • We are holding regular introductory sessions at various locations (book below).
  • These introductory sessions are normally a couple of hours and we will go through what we do and answer your questions.
  • We then agree a date and time with you (in a group) for a follow up session to look at some free budget apps, help you with putting together a budget and understanding the shopping offers, all whilst having some tea or coffee. This is normally for a morning or an afternoon
  • At the end of this session we give you a £25 shopping voucher. (redeemable at major supermarkets)
  • We’ll also have a chat about how the support has been and see if there is anything else we can help you with understanding (bills, payslips, banking etc.)

Our courses are funded by the Department of Education and form part of the Multiply “Skills for Life” programme - a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills and is delivered in this area by the Learning and Skills Academy CIC. admin@learningandskillsacademy.org.uk For more details please see: https://skillsforlife.campaign.gov.uk/courses/multiply

 

Boosting your skills and ability to understand numbers in everyday life can give you greater confidence in both your work and home life. Being comfortable around numbers and increasing your numeracy skills may also unlock job opportunities and lead to higher wages or prepare you for further study.
