Charity Workshops
Chess for impact
We believe chess can make a lasting difference in young people’s lives. Our workshops use the game to develop entrepreneurship, critical thinking and strategic thinking, while building confidence, problem-solving skills and decision-making abilities that extend far beyond the board.
“Abdul and the ChessRing team were fantastic to work with. From bringing all the equipment and sourcing prizes to making sure every detail ran smoothly, they made organising the event incredibly easy. More importantly, they created such a welcoming atmosphere, our community had an amazing evening, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. If you’re looking for a unique event that genuinely brings people together, I’d highly recommend working with ChessRing. We’re already looking forward to the next one.”
Johannah Dalangin, Community and Events Lead
“Abdul has built something really special with ChessRing. The chess itself, and having the Grandmaster there to put us all in our places, was fantastic, but what stood out most was the community, curious, welcoming and full of genuinely interesting people. It was a pleasure partnering with ChessRing on the event, and everything was exceptionally well organised from start to finish. We’re proud that DEX hosted ChessRing’s first corporate event, and I have a feeling it’s the first of many.”
