A Knaresborough not-for-profit organisation has celebrated reaching its annual target for a numeracy scheme.
Better Connect launched its Multiply programme as part of a government initiative to improve maths skills for people from all backgrounds.
The scheme is scheduled to run for three years.
The organisation has gone on to exceed its targets for the first year of the scheme and have helped over 450 adults across eight districts in North Yorkshire, as well as engaging over 250 local employers to get involved.
Emma Lyons, Multiply programme manager at Better Connect, said:
“We’ve just completed year one, and we’ve absolutely smashed it. There’s been such great provision by such great partners, and we are really excited to move the programme forward on to year two.
“We’ve got even bigger and even better, so watch this space.”
