Chess in Schools is now a fully operational charity

CISC is now a fully operational charity with three main objectives:

1) To encourage teaching and playing chess in state schools and inner city communities.
2) To organise and promote world class chess events as a catalyst for mass participation.
3) To raise the profile of chess and highlight its educational and social benefits.

We are setting up chess clubs in about 60 different schools around the UK and are currently looking for chess coaches in the following areas:

 * LONDON – the boroughs of Newham, Barnet, Hackney and Hammersmith
 * BIRMINGHAM
 * MANCHESTER – Tameside
 * LIVERPOOL

Chess lessons will not just be conducted during lunchtime and after school. We are also seeking curriculum time from participating schools to allow coaches to work around existing commitments.

If you are interested in becoming a coach for Chess in Schools and Communities, please email Sabrina Chevannes
