Welcome to Number Partners!
Number Partners is a volunteering programme designed to
support young people in schools across the country with their
number and financial literacy skills. Volunteers
visit primary or secondary schools to play number games with
students, making maths and financial
literacy fun, improving their skill with
numbers and boosting their confidence.
All it takes is an interest in young people and numbers, and the
commitment to spend up to one hour a week or fortnight at the
school. We'll provide the resources, online training and games to help make Number
Partners sessions a success, whether you're new to the
programme or an experienced volunteer.
This website provides information, practical advice
and training to anyone who wants to get involved, as well
as those already taking part in the programme. Employers, schools, broker
organisations, current volunteers and new volunteers
will find everything they need to get involved.
Whoever you are, we urge you to register your interest in
Number Partners on this site. It's easy to do, just follow the
links to register now!
Poor numeracy skills cost UK tax payers up to £2.4 billion per year
“It's rewarding to see how giving up a small amount of your time can make a big difference. I was amazed by how excited the children were!”
