One Voice Blackburn works on ‘Multiply’ projects, in Blackburn with Darwen, as well as East Lancashire

In Blackburn, we work with partners Spring North and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Multiply is a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.

In East Lancashire we partner with Workers Educational Association (WEA), brining adult education courses to everyone who needs it.

Around 17 million adults in England have the numeracy skills of primary school children. Poor numeracy skills can hold people back from having the confidence to get a stable job.

One Voice Blackburn is encouraging adults aged 19+ to engage in Multiply sessions as we believe dealing with numbers is an everyday task whether it’s sorting through bills or helping your child with homework.

We run a variety of workshops including:
• Community Workshops
• Employability Workshops
• Parent Homework Workshops
