What is Multiply?

Multiply is a scheme designed to help build confidence and remove anxiety around maths and numeracy for people who are required to use such skills as some part of their role, without it being the dominant feature. 

For the volunteer, this provides the chance to enhance their skillset and  development. What’s more, Realise will give anyone who completes the Multiply for volunteers course a £100 charitable donation to go towards their chosen charity. 

We will create a tailored programme for the volunteer role, meaning you won’t learn anything which isn’t helpful to you. 

The course is free to access, at no cost to you.

Multiply is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Multiply for volunteers is being part delivered by Realise and led by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority as part of the Mayor’s ambition to make West Yorkshire the best place to work, learn and live.

How can Multiply help you?

Almost half of British people intend to volunteer in the UK, that’s a lot of people who can make a big difference. Whether it’s helping out in a shop or at a setting, the volunteers can use the new found numeracy confidence to helps others with maths anxiety.  

The maths support can be flexible and any volunteer can train as a ‘numeracy champion’  who will be able to support others after the course has finished. 

What’s more, by enhancing your numeracy skills, knowledge and confidence you can help other to thrive, benefits you may see include:  

  • Improved knowledge
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem amongst others
