The Nottinghamshire Chess Foundation (NCF) exists to promote the game of chess in Nottinghamshire.

Chess is a great way of taking part in a non-physical ‘mind sport’ and provides competitive and recreational play. It helps children and young people to develop planning and analytical skills. It also helps older minds to maintain and improve their agility.

NCF provides financial support to develop chess in the County and extend access for people of all ages and abilities.
