If you’re a Cambridgeshire business with a big heart for inclusion, sponsoring a Play Included Brick Club in a local school is a powerful way to make a difference. We are aiming to deliver Brick Clubs for free in 100 local schools in Cambridgeshire. Sponsorship funds teacher training, LEGO bricks, and the resources needed to unlock every child’s growth through play. Brick Clubs are ideal spaces for all young people to thrive – whether they’re neurodivergent, facing mental health challenges or are in need of support for a different reason. These sessions are designed to boost social confidence, encourage teamwork and develop stronger communication skills – and children love them! We are looking for Corporate Sponsors to bring Brick Clubs to more children. Get in touch if you would like to find out more!
