Thursdays, 5–6 pm at our Thackley site (Sowing Seeds Wellbeing)
Join us for an hour of chess and board games. Small, friendly, and low‑pressure. Aimed at ages 11–18. Beginners welcome. Experts welcome. Watching first is also okay!
What it’s like
- Easy start: friendly hello, pick a game (or just look around), choose a comfy spot.
- Play your way: one‑to‑one, small group, or a quiet table. Join in when you’re ready.
Welcoming
- Predictable routine with clear options.
- Quieter corners, gentle lighting if needed, and low noise.
- Short breaks are fine. Timers and visual prompts available if helpful.
- No pressure to talk—point, show, or use cards. We’ll meet you where you’re at.
Vibe and values
- Kindness first. Take turns. Celebrate small wins.
- No pressure to compete – play for fun and focus.
- Our staff are there to keep things calm and help you join in your way.
Good to know
- All games provided (or you can bring your own!). Bring a drink or any regulation items (e.g., headphones) if you like.
- Parents/carers can check in at drop‑off and collection.
- Spaces are limited so it stays small and calm—book your spot for Thursday 5–6 pm at Thackley.
