Brick Based Brains
A person-centred programme for everyone, using bricks to build creativity, connection and wellbeing.
Brick Based Brains
What began as an innovative approach in care settings for people with Dementia quickly revealed the incredible potential of bricks to engage the mind, foster social interaction, and bring joy to participants of all ages and abilities.
As Kitty observed the positive emotional, social, and cognitive changes in participants, Brick Based Brains began to flourish. Today, our dedicated team delivers engaging sessions in care homes, schools, universities, corporate settings, and community groups, creating supportive environments where creativity thrives, empowering individuals to express themselves and connect with others.
We also offer train-the-trainer programmes, equipping educators, facilitators, and community leaders with the skills and support needed to run their own sessions. By sharing knowledge and building capacity, we help create sustainable, creative communities where wellbeing and connection thrive.
Through our activities and training, we aim to spark creativity, strengthen relationships, and enhance quality of life -welcoming everyone to build, create, and connect.
