• Increased adult numeracy across the population

The target group for the Multiply programme is adults that are ordinarily resident in the North Northamptonshire area.

The Multiply Services will be in Lots (please refer to Multiply Services documents).

The grant will be for three years starting January 2023 (subject to NNC retaining the grant allocation),
