Chess in Schools and Communities (CSC)

Chess in Schools and Communities (CSC) is a pioneering organisation dedicated to promoting the game of chess as a tool for educational development and personal growth. Founded with the vision of making chess accessible to children across the UK, CSC aims to enhance cognitive skills, critical thinking, and social interaction through the game.

Our core activities include:

• Educational Programmes: We offer structured chess programmes in schools, designed to engage students and improve their academic performance.
• Community Engagement: CSC works closely with local communities to organise chess clubs and tournaments, fostering a sense of belonging and teamwork.
• Training and Resources: We provide training for teachers and volunteers, equipping them with the necessary skills to teach chess effectively.

At CSC, we believe that chess is more than just a game; it is a powerful educational tool that can help children develop essential life skills. Our vision is to create a future where every child has the opportunity to learn and play chess, regardless of their background.

Through our initiatives, we strive to build confidence, resilience, and strategic thinking in young minds. We are committed to inclusivity and diversity, ensuring that our programmes reach underrepresented groups and promote equal opportunities.

Join us in our mission to transform lives through chess, and help us inspire the next generation of thinkers and leaders.
