💰 Low numeracy costs the economy up to £25bn a year.
We’re building a coalition to put numeracy at the heart of UK prosperity by creating The UK National Year of Numbers. We want everyone to use numbers with confidence and realise their potential 💪

Angela avoided darts because she couldn’t add up the scores, and her social life suffered.

🎉 5 years ago, we launched the National Numeracy Leadership Council: the UK's first leadership coalition for numeracy.
Since then, members have shaped policy, given evidence to the House of Lords, and tackled the gender gap in number confidence 💪
