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.
