Number Day is the NSPCC's mega maths fundraising event. Every year, thousands of schools and nurseries across the UK fundraise for the NSPCC by having fun with maths.

You could take part in numerical games and activities or Dress Up for Digits - dressing up as a number! When you sign up for free, you'll also receive access to hundreds of free learning resources.

However you take part, your fundraising and support could help us fund vital services like Speak out Stay safe and Childline.*

FAQs

Number Day is a free and inclusive maths-inspired fundraising day for children in nursery right through to secondary school, with free downloadable activities suitable for all ages and abilities.

It's the perfect way to get your school or nursery involved with fundraising and celebrating maths while helping to protect more children from abuse.

There are plenty of fun curriculum-based activities which take inspiration from famous game shows, current trends, exciting tasks, and teamwork, as well as lots of resources and ideas to make sure everyone can join in the fun, even if maths isn’t their favourite subject.

Each year we add new activities and pupils are also encouraged to Dress Up for Digits where they make a donation to wear an item of clothing with a number on it.

Half a million children suffer abuse or neglect a year in the UK. That means 7 children in a classroom experience abuse before they turn 18.

Funds raised from Number Day could help to support vital NSPCC services like Speak out Stay Safe. This service visits primary schools across the UK to teach children about the dangers of abuse and what they can do if they need help.

How could our donation be spent?

  • £4 could help answer a child's call for help to Childline.
  • £3 could pay for the NSPCC Speak out Stay safe programme to reach one primary school child, teaching them how to recognise abuse and neglect, and empowering them to speak out if they're worried about anything.
  • £197 could pay for a trained practitioner for one day, helping children get back on track following abuse.
