A success story

Shakoori Family success story.

Get Set for building essential numeracy skills. Our Multiply programme helps the Shakoori family prepare for work and boosts their confidence.

Multiply | 18 July 2024

Asifa Shakoori is a refugee from Afghanistan and had been in the UK for just over a month when was referred to the Restart Scheme in our Crawley office where she was enrolled on our free Multiply numeracy programme to boost her maths skills and confidence. Inspired by the programme, she encouraged her siblings, Hanifa and Mohammad, to also join.

The Multiply programme covers basic numeracy skills and helps people to prepare for work by understanding the UK tax system, better-off calculations, bank accounts and financial scams. As English wasn’t their first language, Edgar Muzvidzwa and Sharon Brown, their Multiply course tutors adapted the course to ensure they understood and followed the sessions which also helped to develop their confidence. The 3 siblings all successfully completed the course and requested materials they could retain and use for reference as they move on with their new life in the UK.

Sharon Brown, Multiply tutor commented, “It was a real pleasure to teach this family of siblings. I hope their future dreams and goals are fulfilled”.
