What is a Lead Supporter?
Lead supporters are corporate organisations committed to tackling the UK’s crisis of poor numeracy confidence and skills.

Current supporters include our Founding Supporter KPMG alongside Lead Supporters Capital One, PFG, TP ICAP, Experian and the Lord Mayor’s Appeal Charity.
Why improve numeracy?
From the Prime Minister’s maths to 18 announcement, to families feeling the cost of living pinch and communities and businesses recovering from the pandemic, the need for everyday number confidence is more important than ever before.
