Brick Based Brains
A person-centred programme that uses bricks as a tool to create social connections and improve the well-being of older people and those living with dementia.
Brick Based Brains
With years of experience in educational settings, Kitty recognised the profound benefits that brick-based therapy could offer to those with dementia. Inspired to make a difference, she began her journey by introducing this innovative approach at a North West based care home. The immediate and joyful responses from participants were both surprising and heartwarming, revealing the incredible potential of this therapy to stimulate the mind and foster emotional well-being and improve social interaction.
As Kitty observed the positive emotional, social, and cognitive changes in participants, Brick Based Brains began to flourish. Today, our dedicated team is training caregivers and professionals across the UK to implement this engaging and effective therapy. By creating supportive environments where creativity thrives, we empower individuals with dementia to express themselves and connect with others.
Our aim is to bring hope, happiness, and enhance the quality of life to those living with dementia through the art of brick-based activities.
