Multiply is a £559 million investment by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to deliver bespoke adult numeracy programmes over the next three years (ending March 2025). The GLA has been allocated just under £41 million of this funding to deliver Multiply across the capital.
The London Multiply programme will give adult Londoners the opportunity to learn and develop the essential numeracy skills they need in life and work, supporting Londoners to access higher wage employment and help mitigate the impact of the rising cost of living.
