Everyday maths
Improve your maths skills and increase your confidence with numbers
Wiltshire Libraries are working with Multiply to offer free support and courses to help adults to improve their everyday maths. If you would like to upskill, feel more confident, or better support your child with homework, there are resources available to help you and library staff can help you access them.
Our Multiply Numeracy Champions all wear pink badges, but any member of staff can signpost you in the right direction.
We are running free craft and advice Multiply activities at Chippenham Library which will help you boost your confidence and improve your everyday maths skills and you will receive free retail E vouchers for taking part.
Get crafty
Come along and join our craft sessions where you can use your creative skills to explore a range of activities from making bags to macrame. All materials are provided free of charge along with tea and cake.
At the end of the session, you can take home your craft and will receive a free £20 E voucher for taking part.
To sign up, you must be aged 19+ and not have Level 2/GCSE maths at grade 4 (previously known as a C grade) or have a grade C but feel you are not working at that level.

We are using software called E vouchers from a company called Wonde Limited to distribute vouchers.
