## Notice

Funded through the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund and managed by the Department for Education (DfE), Multiply is targeted at adults aged 19+ with the aim of improving their ability to understand and use maths in their daily life, home, and work (e.g. improving household finances and managing household budgets, improving sector specific numeracy skills). To meet this challenge, successful Providers will need to demonstrate that numeracy activities are innovative or have a proven track record of success, engaging, fit around people's lives, and are tailored to individual needs with delivery taking place in the community or workplace, through sessions delivered in person or online. Activities will also need to demonstrate that they support improvement in skills and/or progression towards accredited learning and improved employment opportunities. The Department of Education (DfE) has suggested ten Interventions of which seven have been selected for Rhondda Cynon Taff, and split into Lots: Lot 1 - W44: Courses designed to increase confidence with numbers for those needing the first steps towards formal numeracy qualifications.
