Number Confidence Week: 4-8 November
Everything you need to help your organisation or community feel number confident!

We'll be adding new materials as we get closer to the big week – there will be top tips and ideas for a brilliant Big Number Natter, thought-provoking conversations with our celebrity ambassadors, promotional graphics for your communications, and much more!

Number Confidence and the Gender Divide Webinar
To coincide with a research briefing, National Numeracy hosted a webinar called Gender, Numeracy and Social Mobility where a panel discussed the report’s findings – in particular that women typically have lower numeracy confidence than men – and looked in detail at the data, answered questions from participants, and suggested what could be done to address the issues raised.
Lucy-Marie Hagues from Capital One and Tammy Fevrier from the Department for Work and Pensions joined National Numeracy's CEO Sam Sims and Head of Impact and Evaluation Paul Foss.

The National Numeracy logo
Our logo can only be used by our partners and only when communicating directly about our work together.
The logo must only be placed on a white background, its colours and dimensions must not be altered. There should be clear white space around the logo. No text, partner logos, or other page marks should be in this space. Don’t place the logo on a busy background that will affect legibility. Please don’t use any other colour or effect, other descriptors or taglines, rotate or distort, recreate, redraw or ‘box up’ the logo within a holding device.
Please download and read the full logo guidance below before using our logo.
Social media graphics
By downloading the graphics below and using them alongside messaging in your Comms Guide, you can get the word out across all social media platforms.
There are graphics inviting people to become Numeracy Champions, as well as graphics to promote the National Numeracy Challenge – and each graphic has a space for you to add your own logo.
