Did you know: Doing physical activity boosts learning for children? The rugby-inspired ‘warm-ups’ on #LearnWithUs get kids primed to learn! 😎 #ad @premrugby

I want London to be a place where all women and girls feel safe and valued. That’s why I couldn’t be prouder to support the #16DaysofActivism on #WhiteRibbonDay. Join me and thousands of others in saying no to violence against women and girls.

As with all my chess clubs, this one in Norbury on Monday afternoons has places available for new girls and boys to join up. If you don't mind spending some of your budget, then bring your child along to learn a few new moves.

I run several junior chess clubs in London and I wish I could clone myself and have more. I'm devoted to teaching beginners from 6 yrs plus, so if you'd like your girl or boy to learn chess in a fun & friendly way, then the choice of club is yours.

I am confident that 3 more girls are coming to join this chess club in Harlesden on Thursday. There are spaces available, so just pop on over and bring your daughter along with you.

Specialising in teaching beginners from 6 years old, this chess club in Herne Hill will keep your child thinking and exploring new ways to solve the chess problems I set. The cost is only £10 and you can just pop on over.
