Number Confidence Week was launched in 2020 by the independent charity, National Numeracy, along with the founding support of KPMG, which is a provider of tax, audit and financial advisory services in the UK. The idea behind the event is that if people are more confident about numbers, they will be less likely to shy away from them which will empower them to be more active in the way they live their financial lives.
This event is all about reducing the stress, anxiety and fear that can come along with the use of numbers in daily life, whether for work, shopping, financial planning or other activities. In addition, people who are not confident about numbers can be vulnerable to difficulties such as financial debt, fraud, health problems, unemployment and more.
The way Number Confidence Week works to overcome these struggles is by providing empowering solutions that are positive and practical, to help people improve their confidence.
