The Big Plus, Scotland's national adult literacy and numeracy campaign, was launched in January 2004.
The Big Plus is funded by Learning Connections with marketing support provided by learndirect scotland.
A free phone help line, 0808 100 1080, offers advice and puts people in touch with local tutors. This information can also be provided via the contact section.
People who contact us are sent a short film featuring learners talking about the benefits of taking part. You can watch our videos, our tv adverts and other multimedia content on this website.
Help promote The Big Plus, we've got some popular promotional items for you to use and advice on using the logo.
For more information on Scottish Government policy behind the campaign visit

Tutors can access a wide range of online literacy and numeracy resources at www.aloscotland.com.
