Chess in Schools & Communities is a charity which seeks to
improve children's educational outcomes and foster their social development
by introducing them to the game of chess in schools and communities.
We are always looking for Tutors and Volunteers to teach chess in schools and the
community. We run regular one day training courses on our approach to teaching
chess. If there is demand we are thinking of having one in Leeds on
1st September.
Interested parties should contact me (i. e. Dan, details
below). There is no obligation to take it further if they come on the
course.

·
Benefits of chess
