Multiply aims to see meaningful participation that boosts people's ability to use maths in their daily life, at home and work - and enables adults to achieve formal qualifications that can open doors for them (such as into a job, progression in work, or progression to further study). This tender is split into 4 areas 1) Engagement 2) Numeracy activities, courses or provision developed in partnership with community organisations and other partners aimed at engaging the hardest to reach learners. 3) Courses for parents wanting to increase their numeracy skills to help their children and help with their own progression. 4) Innovative numeracy programmes delivered in the community to support learners with their physical and mental health.
