ChessabellésHelp more women and girls play chess
Fewer than one in ten players at Australian chess tournaments are women and girls. Every donation and sponsorship goes to Chessabellés’s work changing that: lessons, tournaments and equipment for girls and women, and Giving back, free chess for older women in nursing homes and community centres.
Where your money goes
Lessons for girls who couldn’t otherwise play
Coaching scholarships, so cost is never the reason a girl stops playing chess.
Getting to tournaments
Help with entry fees and travel to girls’ and women’s championships around Australia.
Sets, boards and clocks
Equipment for school programs, girls’ squads and community groups.
Giving back
Free chess sessions for older women in nursing homes and community centres, good company and good for the mind.
