We were invited to Parliament recently to talk about how 5asideCHESS can help in the justice, education and health sectors. A low cost intervention with big impact #chess #mentalhealth #education #ukparliament

Last week we met two wonderful gentlemen at a dementia resource centre in Peterborough run by @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social. As a simpler version of a game he already knew, Chris was able to play and solve a couple of checkmate in 2 puzzles on the 5asideCHESS board. #dementia #mentalhealth
