De-stress with Chess! ♟️

Colette Robertson
Friday 17 April 2026

To mark Stress Awareness Month, CMPA colleagues Gayle and Michal have set up a friendly community chess game on the desk at the North entrance to the first floor office of Walter Bower House, (nearest the staff room), offering everyone a chance to take a mindful break from their day. The hope is that this will become an ongoing activity for colleagues to enjoy well beyond the month.

Moves can be made either anonymously or by signing the sheet with your username and move. The game is intended as a gentle, relaxed way to step away from your desk for a moment, reconnect, and interact with colleagues across the site.

If you have any board games you’d be happy to donate or loan, or if you have ideas for other community‑building activities, please feel free to get in touch with the WBH reception team.

We’d love to see you take part!
