5asideCHESS has a "Battling Suicide Bus" that tours around the UK supporting people with their mental health disguised through the simple beauty of a chat, cuppa and game of chess. Being good at chess is not a requirement since it is only used as an ice breaker and universal language to get people talking.

We have now opened a 5asideCHESS & Life Cafe which provides a stationary place for people to come for a chat or even to stay warm over the winter. The cafe hosts a number of activties such as book club, comedy nights, chess club, philosophy meet ups and more.
