About

The Richmond Project is a UK charity founded by Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty to build confidence with numbers. It supports existing impactful numeracy projects, champions new disruptors and creates its own solutions where it encounters gaps, so that no one, at any age, should feel left out when it comes to numbers.

Key Metrics

People directly supported 200,000 children, young adults and families were directly supported across The Richmond Project's programmes and partnerships in its first year.
Grants awarded 15 grants worth almost GBP 2m were awarded to support impactful numeracy projects, champion new disruptors and create solutions where gaps were found.
Pupils reached with books Almost 100,000 pupils benefited from over 6,000 maths-themed books sent via Bookmark Reading Charity Rocket Packs to more than 300 schools in disadvantaged areas.
Families supported at home 5,000 families were supported through the maths programme with Learning with Parents, evaluating and improving activities on its platform.
Financial literacy trial Over 5,000 pupils are involved in trialling the new financial literacy curriculum developed with the Government.

Key Outcomes

  • Children who loved books encouraged to see maths in a new light, with schools reporting the packs provided 'another way in for engaging reluctant readers'.
  • National conversation on numeracy advanced, with coverage in 5 national newspapers and the founders' book club attracting over 1.2 million views in 6 months.
  • Early years numeracy support identified and backed, addressing parental attitudes and behaviours responsible for 21% of the gap in cognitive outcomes between the richest and poorest children.
