National Numeracy Day

Count on Your Community

Wednesday 20 May

This May we're asking you to: Count on Your Community

The theme for National Numeracy Day this year is community.

Whatever you’re trying to achieve, sometimes all it takes is the support of others to help you get started. Improving numeracy is no different. While there are many ways to begin your journey towards improved number skills and confidence, having the encouragement, moral support and guidance of others can make a huge difference.

This National Numeracy Day, why not explore new opportunities within your local community?

What does community mean to you? Is it your workplace or your school, is it your place of worship, a sports group or even an online space where people connect? Every community needs confidence with numbers to thrive but negative attitudes towards numbers and maths anxiety are rife in the UK.

Join us this National Numeracy Day to build some number positivity into your community.
