Delivery of Multiply Intervention I Numeracy Activities in East Riding

About

East Riding of Yorkshire Council awarded a contract to Humber Learning Consortium for the delivery of Multiply Intervention I, focusing on numeracy activities, courses, or provision developed in partnership with community organisations and other partners to engage the hardest to reach participants.

The contract, valued at AUD 175,000, aimed to address the needs of a proportion of the East Riding's population for whom traditional learning methods have failed, requiring alternative methods to overcome anxieties and engage individuals in informal learning and progression into more structured learning.

The provision was to be informal and non-accredited, utilising everyday activities such as cooking, DIY, arts and crafts, family learning, and sport to attract and engage learners while embedding numeracy.

Activities were delivered in accessible venues across the East Riding, including rural areas, and encouraged group and independent work with peer learning and support.

The focus was on client-centred learning methods that build on existing skills, increase confidence, and move individuals towards Level 2 capability.
