Greater Manchester Multiply Scheme – Multiply for Care Leavers (#2)

30/01/2024 - Greater Manchester Multiply Scheme – Multiply for Care Leavers (#2)

Multiply is a UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) funded national programme, commissioned and delivered locally, to support adults who do not have GCSE/Level 2 maths or equivalent to gain skills in Maths/Numeracy.

A key aim of the GM Multiply Scheme is to offer tailored support to care experienced residents across Greater Manchester. The activity should boost residents confidence with numbers, and provide an initial opportunity to access maths/numeracy skills provision.

Following an Expression of Interest process, the Grant award has been approved to the following Authorities

Authority / FY23/24 / FY24/25 / TOTAL
Bolton Council £24,380.00 £31,800.00 £56,180.00

Trafford Council £21,333.00 £27,825.00 £49,158.00
