Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governing document
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)		 The objects of the CIO are:
(i) the advancement of education, in particular, but not exclusively, in the fields of
science, technology, economics, mathematics and computing; and
(ii) the advancement of amateur sport through the provision of, or assistance in
the provision of, facilities for the teaching, coaching and playing of chess for the
benefit of girls of school age who are resident in Cambridgeshire.
CGCI provides regular monthly chess training workshops for girls aged between
approximately 5 and 13 years old. Such training workshops, which last between
2 and 2.5 hours, are open during school term-time and are typically attended by
between 40-45 girls. CGCI provides three levels of coaching, depending upon
ability. CGCI's coaching team is led by Dagne Ciuksyte, International Chess
Master and top three women player in England.
CGCI also operates a competitive team which participates in the Cambridgeshire
Chess Championship, playing a total of 12 matches throughout the academic
year, and separately operates its own annual chess tournament.
CGCI provides only basic facilities, namely a room in which it meets, and any
other items necessary for the playing of chess, such as chess boards, chess
pieces and chess clocks.
CGCI does not operate on a "membership" basis, and is open to all girls in the
Cambridgeshire area aged between 5-13 years old. CGCI actively approaches
as many schools in Cambridgeshire as it can in order to reach and engage with
as many girls as possible.
CGCI's purposes provide the following benefits:
(i)
greater female representation in the chess community by increasing
the number of girls of school age in the Cambridgeshire area who
are actively playing chess;
(ii)
the intellectual benefits of chess experienced by its beneficiaries,
including the development of problem solving, logical and critical
reasoning, pattern recognition, concentration, communication skills
and interpersonal skills; and
(iii)
an increase in positive attitudes towards subjects such as science,
technology, economics, mathematics and computing in girls of
school age.

CGCI raises the majority of its revenue by way of public donation. This comprises revenue raised via: (i) crowdfunding (ii) donations from certain colleges of Cambridge University. Such crowdfunded donations are made in small individual amounts and without conditions, whereas the donations from Cambridge typically range between £50 to £400. CGCI also occasionally applies for, and receives, grants.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

CGCI does not follow any formal policies or procedures in respect of such donations, as each individual donation is made unconditionally and is nonmaterial in respect of CGCI's operations as a whole, and would otherwise provide a disproportionate administrative burden upon CGCI's current volunteers.

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Due to the global pandemic, and following government guidelines, CGCI suspended activity from February 2020 until further notice. With a nation-wide lockdown, CGCI researched alternatives, trialling an on-line training session in September 2020. Unfortunately, due to safeguarding issues, IT complexities and personal work commitments, this was dismissed. All trustees voted to suspend activities until further notice.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

Reserves are in place to cover main outgoings; coaching fees for six months, without the requirement of additional funding.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None

Further financial review details (Optional information)

The charities principal source of funding is a nominal fee of £5 per attendee in respect of its coaching workshops. Such fee raises a contribution towards the costs of running such coaching workshops and participating in the Cambridge Chess Championship in each academic year. CGCI does not charge a fee in respect of the provision of its other facilities, such as its meeting room, as this is provided to it by Kings College, Cambridge, without charge.

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

The charges are considered to be nominal and within the scope of what the poor could reasonably afford. Such charges (along with income raised from selling T- shirts showing the CGCI logo) raised only 15% of CGCI's annual income (2018/2019) As such, it is dependent on grants and other forms of fundraising to cover its costs and, importantly, the goodwill of parents and volunteers.
