Multiply
The Department of Further Education (DfE) wants everyone to have the opportunity to learn and develop the essential skills they need to succeed at any age. The UK Government has committed that the first priority of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, will be Multiply, with up to £559 million in funding available.
Thriving Together have an important role to play in the delivery of the Multiply provision and are supporting VCSE organisations to improve their ability to understand and use maths in daily life, home, and work. To achieve that, Multiply offers a range of options such as free personal tutoring, digital training and flexible courses that fit around people’s lives and are tailored to specific needs, circumstances, sectors and industries.
We currently work with five VCSE organisations that deliver Multiply:
Northern Learning Trust
Digital Voice
Being Woman
Northern Butterflies
Citizens Advice Northumberland
These learners from Northern Butterflies are doing maths at their desks and making sculptures as part of Multiply ‘making sculptural numbers’
