We’re delighted to announce the relaunching of this great opportunity for local employers (5+ employees), and community groups (5+ volunteers) to apply for a £1,000 grant per Champion to support numeracy development and become a Lincolnshire Multiply Champion.(Organisations can make proposals for one or more Champions depending on the scale and scope of their ideas.
Multiply is a UK government-funded 3-year programme to help adults (19+ years old) to improve maths skills which are critical to personal wellbeing and business growth. It provides free personal tutoring, digital training and flexible courses to fit with lives, needs, circumstances, sectors, and industries. The fully funded Lincolnshire Multiply programme is available to individuals, businesses and community groups (5+ Volunteers) with learning providers ready and willing across the county to support you.

A Lincolnshire Multiply Champion is:
- An organisation or group that recognises the importance of numeracy, and its application at work, or in everyday life

- Identifying and piloting innovative approaches with providers (e.g., a lunchtime learning club, family learning)
- Supporting take-up of the fully funded Multiply provision available across Lincolnshire
