General engagement

It’s National Numeracy Day on 20 May, when hundreds of thousands of people around the UK are inspired to take their first steps towards improved numeracy.
This year's theme is 'Count on Your Community'.
Millions of people across the UK lack confidence when it comes to numbers. But that can change. Mutual encouragement and support from your community can make a world of difference.
If you don’t feel confident with maths, don’t worry, you are not alone! And the great news is...everyone can improve!
And if you do take those first steps, it will make a real difference to your everyday life at home, work and at school.
Please join me and get involved in National Numeracy Day on 20 May.

For National Numeracy Day on 20 May, I am joining the #BigNumberNatter!
Love it, or loathe it, everyone has something to say about maths!
Why should we get nattering about numbers?
Around half the UK’s working age adults have the numeracy levels of a primary school leaver.
And that makes everyday life a bit harder, from managing money and getting on at work to supporting children.
I'd like to share a few thoughts on how I feel about numbers and maths… [talks about how they feel about maths and numbers, how they use numbers in everyday life – an unexpected story or anecdote works very well]
If you don’t feel confident with maths, don’t worry, you are not alone!
The great news is...everyone can improve!
