Multiply
Award winning FREE Skills Sessions
The Multiply Project is a Government funded project to engage adults aged 19 plus in improving their maths skills to access employment and/or education; to progress at work; support children with homework and improve general money management skills. The aim is also to enable adults to access college provision within their own community leading to them engaging in further learning.
Recently our Multiply Team were awarded a certificate of recognition for the Best at Engaging Hard to Reach Participants for Multiply by the Lancashire Skills & Employment Hub.
Since September 2022, we have engaged with over 1000 participants. We have been working with local organisations such as Lancaster & District CVS; Lancashire Women; local Primary Schools; Marsh Community Centre; East Meets West; Global Link; Lancaster Men’s Hub; the Children & Family Wellbeing Service. The project continues until March 2025.
Some of the courses the project has enabled us to offer are:
- 1-1 tutoring or small groups for people studying towards formal Maths qualifications
- Cooking on a Budget sessions
- Managing your Household Budget
- Upskilling for Teaching Assistants
- One day Excel courses
I found the course super empowering. I feel so much more confident to teach maths both at schools and at home.

How can we help you?
Everyday life skills:
- Would you like to know how much money you could save every year by changing your shopping habits?
- Would you like to gain a better understanding of where your money goes and how to decrease your monthly outgoings?
If this sounds interesting then why not join our Really Useful Maths They Don't Teach You at School course, where you will learn all about different types of outgoings and incomes, and how to apply these to a monthly budget.
Helping your children with maths:
- Do you find it difficult to understand the new methods schools use to teach maths in primary schools?
- Would you benefit from learning these methods, which could help give you the tools to help your child with homework?
If these are questions you often ask yourself, the Maths To Support Your Primary Aged Child course could be for you! We offer weekly sessions covering the Primary Curriculum Maths subjects, giving you tips on how your child will be taught in class and how you can help from home.
Upskilling for a job (new or current):
- Do you require a GCSE or Functional Skills Level 2 qualification to progress in your current workplace?
- Have you seen a University Course you would love to get stuck in to, but not having a Maths qualification is preventing you from perusing your dream career?
If this sounds like you, the Try Before you Buy Functional Skills course could be hugely beneficial to you.
