Brick-by-brick Programme

We all love to play! That’s the ethos behind the Brick-by-Brick™ programme. Formerly known as LEGO® based therapy, the programme brings young people together to make friends and develop skills over a shared interest in LEGO play. Play Included have partnered with the Lego Foundation and are just finalising their suite of revised training opportunities. We will hopefully be able to offer this training next term.
