Checktember

This September marks Checktember, a campaign from National Numeracy encouraging everyone to spend just 10 minutes each day taking part in the National Numeracy Challenge.

The National Numeracy Challenge is an easy to use online tool where you can check your skills with numbers you use in everyday life, for work and at home.

“If you struggle with numbers, you’re not alone, but it’s never too late to improve!”

Covid has introduced many new challenges and uncertainties to our lives: conversations around changing careers or education plans; how to manage household budgets better; or, the big one, how to school from home.

But, by boosting our number confidence and skills for 10 minutes each day it can go a long way to helping deal with these new challenges and uncertainties.

Get started by heading to https://www.gmb.org.uk/lifelong-learning

And don’t forget to share how you get on on your social media platforms using #checktember and #NationalNumeracyChallenge and tagging us @gmbreachout in your posts!
