Good morning lovely ladies, A few months ago I was speaking with KPMG, one of our corporate partners, about this network and the exceptional range of skills and interests across it. They’ve been supporting a research project on AI, numeracy and social mobility, and I’m attending the launch on 14 July. They reached out on Friday to say they’d love to invite women from this network to join too - my contact had taken a look at WiTPN on LinkedIn and was very impressed. I’ve included details of the event below. Social mobility is a real passion of mine, and AI has the potential to do a huge amount of good, but also to widen gaps if we’re not thoughtful about how it’s used and the key skills required to access it. This research focuses on the role numeracy plays in that, which I think will make for a really interesting discussion. If you’d like to attend, please let me know and I can help arrange tickets. It would also be lovely to meet some of you in person. 🌟 Event details: We are very pleased to invite you to the launch of AI, Numeracy and Social Mobility – a new research report from Policy Connect and businesses of the National Numeracy Leadership Council. KPMG has worked closely with National Numeracy since 2018, when they co-founded National Numeracy Day to help people build confidence with numbers. Around half of the UK’s working-age population (approximately 17–20 million adults) have numeracy skills at or below the level expected of a primary school leaver. Date: Tuesday 14 July 2026Time: 08:00 – 10:30 (arrival from 8:00 for security clearance; 8:30 registration and breakfast; panel discussion 9:00–10:00, followed by networking) Location: Churchill Room, House of Commons Join Lord Evans of Rainow and an esteemed panel to discuss the report’s findings and policy recommendations. The research highlights that only 25% of UK adults believe numeracy skills are needed to use AI tools, compared to 42% who believe literacy is required. However, strong numeracy remains fundamental to engaging with AI confidently and critically.

Hi Lovelies, I hope you’ve had a great weekend? I’ve been relaxing after the absolute frenetic mentalness of New York and then Cannes Lions 🤪 Today for the first time in ages I didnt set an alarm and woke up at 10am. It was wonderful 🥳 I chilled out this morning, did a bit of knitting, met friends for lunch and then spent the afternoon at the beach in Juan Les Pins. It was wonderful 🎉 I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night when we have the fabulous Aimee Smith joining us, do put it in your diary now so you don’t miss it! What have you been up to this weekend? ❤️ Sue xxx
