About Number Champions
We set up Number Champions in 2018 to transform the lives of children in state primary schools who struggle with numeracy.
We now have two part-time staff, led by our Head of Operations (HoO), who works directly with our Chair managing all aspects of the charity. However, most of the activities of the charity are delivered by volunteers.
Our In-School Volunteers (ISVs) spend a school year with each child in weekly one-to-one sessions. The volunteer uses maths games and other creative activities to engage the child and to help them build confidence and skills and so overcome the ‘maths barrier’. Helping the children at this early stage puts them back on track to achieve their full life potential, in a world where some fluency with maths and numbers is such an essential building block.
Former (and current) teachers volunteering with us as ‘Mentors’ train and support these ISVs.
Now in our sixth year, we are working across thirteen London boroughs in 30 partner schools, with 98 ISVs supporting 280 children. We plan to grow these numbers year by year.
Everyone at Number Champions is passionate about helping to improve children’s educational and life chances.
