Supporting this great event is The John Robinson Youth Chess Trust. The Trust (an independent registered charity) was founded in 2006 to support junior chess in England. The Trust has generously supported the British since 2006 and in 2024 awarded the English Chess Federation £10,000 to facilitate the promotion and organising of the event and to provide junior coaching during the championship.
Generous support for the BCC to the tune of £12,500 also comes from the Chess Trust, whose objectives are the advancement of amateur sport by promoting the study and practice of chess in all its forms, principally, but not exclusively, for the benefit of the residents of England; and the advancement of education by promoting the development of young people through the teaching and practice of chess.
