Why improve numeracy?
National Numeracy's new strategy, launched in November 2024 and supported by the Secretary of State for Education, outlines our mission to ‘empower people to thrive by using numeracy to open up opportunities and access brighter futures, targeting communities where the need is greatest.’
Not getting on with numbers blights lives and livelihoods, contributing to pervasive problems from unemployment to poor health and debt. Low numeracy can be a lifelong barrier to social mobility.
Improving numeracy can drive opportunities for everyone to progress, and be the best that they can be, without being hampered by socio-economic disadvantage.

Our reach

We delivered events in communities up and down the land, equipping hundreds of thousands of children and adults with the numeracy tools they need to thrive in life, at home, work and school.
This seventh campaign saw our brand awareness soar to new heights. Huge national media coverage, up 60% on last year with 569 mentions, helped embed National Numeracy Day firmly in the public consciousness, driving a 48% increase in search traffic to our website on National Numeracy Day.
