Churchdown Club is fundraising to improve their facilities to allow everyone to attend and enjoy their club. Could any of our learners/partners/funders who has used the club please complete this survey. Thank you.

*Churchdown Club Accessibility Survey*

To obtain sources of funding for our Access for All project we are required to show evidence of how the project will help the members and wider community going forward, particularly looking at improving access for those with any impairments hidden or otherwise.

A survey has been created which we would like to invite you to complete:

I wanted to let you know that I’ve recently completed National Numeracy's training programme and I am now a fully CPD accredited Numeracy Champion.
This means that if you don’t feel confident with numbers or would like to improve your everyday maths, I can support you. So, please get in touch if you’d like to:
• learn about resources you can access to improve your confidence with numbers as an adult,
• simply talk about how you feel about numbers or maths,
• find out about locally available free courses and provision.
Why not have a go at the National Numeracy Challenge? It’s a free website or app designed for adults who don’t always feel confident with numbers – have a go today using this link

However you feel about maths, you’re not alone. Many of us want to get better with our everyday maths but are held back by feeling it's something that we can't improve. Being good with numbers isn’t a special talent, it’s something we can all learn.

The National Numeracy Challenge is a website that helps you learn the maths needed for everyday life. However maths makes you feel, you’re not alone and we’re here to help.

Our last course for this academic year in Gloucester. Our learners all learnt how to prepare healthy food as well as achieving their Level 1 food hygiene course. So proud of this group as they achieved so much in four days.
