Train to be a Numeracy Champion as part of Every Londoner Counts!
National Numeracy, in partnership with The Lord Mayor’s Appeal, have launched an initiative called Every Londoner Counts. It aims to improve employability and financial inclusion by supporting thousands of Londoners – including building a network of newly-trained Numeracy Champions.
We provide two types of CPD-accredited Numeracy Champions training designed to help you support people to improve their confidence with numbers.
Numeracy Champions don't teach maths, but instead support others to overcome anxieties about maths. Anyone can train to be a Numeracy Champion – you just need to already have a group of adults in place to support.
Numeracy Champions – Supporting Adults
If you are looking to support colleagues (including staff in secondary schools), learners, customers, or adults in the community to get started with improving their numeracy, then this is the training course for you. It is delivered online in 2 two-hour sessions.
You’ll learn how to lead a ‘Time to Talk Numbers’ conversation to get adults thinking about the importance of numeracy, and also how to direct adults to the National Numeracy Challenge learning platform. There is also the option to learn how to deliver ‘Confidence with Numbers’ workshops to adults.
Numeracy Champions – Supporting Families
If you work in a primary school and would like to support teachers, school staff, parents or carers to help children to feel good about maths, then this is the right training for you (if you work in a secondary school, please see the ‘Supporting Adults’ programme above). It is delivered online in 2 two-hour sessions.
You’ll learn about our Top Tips to support children’s numeracy, our Family Maths Toolkit resources, and how to direct adults to the National Numeracy Challenge learning platform. There is also the option to learn how to deliver ‘Help Your Child Love Maths!’ workshops to parents & carers.

Who we are
We are National Numeracy, a charity set up in 2012 to raise the levels of numeracy in the UK among both adults and children. Our own research and government figures show that around half of adults in the UK have the numeracy expected of primary school children, and we want to change this.
Our growing network of Numeracy Champions have helped thousands of adults, and we have now trained Champions in every borough of London. Join and see the difference you can make.
