The biggest myth in philanthropy is the idea that every big gift must be of high value. Tabitha Trust is a local trust focused on education, faith, and human welfare which funds girl's inclusion in chess around the UK. Small gifts like theirs helped The Way Youth Zone purchase 10 competition clocks for its popular Chess Club, so they will learn how to handle the stress of tournament conditions. A brilliant way to teach soft skills to overcome the internal pressure of classroom tests and examinations.
Young people who are involved in chess experience growth in many areas, including self-confidence, social skills, self-awareness, problem-solving, and aspirations. These skills help level the playing field for high-achieving, low-income young people so that they are more likely to become high-achieving adults who may cure cancer, discover a vaccine for malaria, or find life in outer space.
The Way is a home from home, serving over 8,000 youth in the last 12 weeks with somewhere safe to go, something to do, something to eat, and someone to talk to. Where is your safe home from home?

A huge thank you to the Tabitha Trust for their generous donation to purchase chess clocks for our chess club!
Beryl Metcalfe from the Tabitha Trust visited our Youth Zone last week to see our young chess masters in action and bravely challenged one of our Juniors to a game!
Chess is a fantastic game for our young people, helping them to develop strategic thinking and planning skills, problem-solving abilities, concentration and focus, and sportsmanship.
With the new chess clocks, our club members will be able to practice time management and experience competitive chess under tournament conditions. This will be a valuable addition to their chess development journey.
