Math buddies
Following the success of our Book Buddies program, Bupa decided to launch a similar Maths Buddies scheme.
Bupa Math Buddies volunteers devote one lunch hour a week to help local primary school children with maths. As well as trying to improve the child's mathematical ability, it aims to develop their confidence and self-esteem in the classroom. The primary schools selected are usually located just a few moments from the volunteers' place of work.
Although it was slightly daunting walking into a class of children, as soon as you start talking to the them you soon
forget your nerves and it ends up being a wonderful experience. It's great to know that you are making a difference and its good to be able to get away from your desk at lunchtimes.
