Aim: Offering LEGO® - based activities to the public, care homes & community groups to support & promote mental health and wellbeing for all ages
North West Brick Community CIC specialises in providing engaging LEGO®-based activities to promote health and wellbeing across the North West UK.
We host low cost LEGO® Workshops at multiple venues each month, where LEGO® sets are used as a personal and self-directed therapy tool to enhance social interaction, reduce stress, foster creativity, and cultivate a sense of achievement.
Additionally, we deliver LEGO®-centered workshops for community groups, organizations, residential & care homes.
Since understanding the value of LEGO® based activities aiding mental-health for everyone, we started in February 2025.
Currently we have provided sessions to over 100 people in regular public low cost venues, four care homes, two hospices, one hospital ward and one residential home as of 18.05.25
We are now connecting with local libraries and other community groups for elderly, people with learning difficulties and Youth Zones.
For every session we prepare and provide all LEGO® elements, we travel to where the community or group is at no charge. We believe this aids acceptance and makes it accessible to all. We have sourced multiple small LEGO® sets that can be built individually or as a team of upto 4 people. After each session we break down the sets, checking all parts are accounted for ready for the next builder.
For the elderly, dementia & stroke patients for which some LEGO® pieces are too small, we use Six Bricks a DUPLO® based system of six 2x4 bricks in six different colours and every participant receives their own set.
Using pattern cards we ask participants to copy layouts, shadow builds, or be creative and build a snake, crocodile, bird etc. This aids coginitive thinking & motorskills.
Your donation will support that work to continue and help more than 300 people if not more.
