National Numeracy Day - 22 May
This May, City Hall is marking National Numeracy Day, a national awareness campaign run by National Numeracy. This empowers adults and children to take first steps towards improving their numeracy skills, helping them at work, school and home.
Download our comms pack and pack for an opportunity to spread the word about the London Multiply programme, encouraging Londoners you work with to take steps improving their numerical confidence and skills.
You can also participate in City Hall’s Big Number Natter, creating space for Londoners to talk about their feelings around numbers, and how they use them in everyday life.
