Multiply

What is Multiply?

Multiply is an initiative delivered by Sheffield City Council to develop numeracy skills in adults. It is funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund through the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).

In Sheffield we have teamed up with trusted providers to offer a number of numeracy interventions in the form of workshops/courses in the community. These support people who need to enhance their numeracy skills for work, to support their households (for example their children, or with budgeting skills) or to enable them to progress onto further learning.

Multiply courses & workshops

We offer a range of courses and workshops on themes such as household finances, cooking on a budget or improving numeracy skills specific to a key sector or line of work. 

Courses and workshops offered:

  • Money on my Mind
