Volunteer of the Month: January 2025

29 Jan 2025

By Laura Hill, Volunteering Manager

As the new year gets underway in primary schools across the UK, our corporate volunteers have been busy visiting schools to deliver their My Maths Story assemblies and support our Maths in the Real World class sessions.

Congratulations to Katie Roberts, Partner at EY, who we are recognising as our first Volunteer of the Month in 2025!

Katie visited a primary school in Tower Hamlets, London to present her assembly and take part in a class session.

Katie said: "In the assembly the children were well prepared, asked great questions and seemed to enjoy it. The class session was very well organised"

The school said: "The sessions were enjoyable. It was a well-planned assembly, Katie was a confident speaker and answered questions well. Thank you."

EY joined National Numeracy as a corporate supporter in 2024. With a commitment to creating a positive long-term impact in communities across the UK, EY has supported our inspiring volunteering programme in primary schools and driven impact through our national campaigns. EY’s efforts are helping to boost efforts to improve numeracy for equality and social mobility across the country.  A huge thank you from National Numeracy.

We also held three busy Numeracy Volunteer training sessions in January, training 25 new volunteers from our partners and supporters Capital One, Experian, EY, London Stock Exchange Group and S&P Global. We’re now busy matching these volunteers to schools, ready for visits in February and March.

Well done to Katie, and we look forward to some more exciting school visits this term!
