Hello,
We are reaching out with an exciting opportunity to support our clients at Headway Sussex, who are living with brain injuries. As part of our therapeutic programs, we’re looking to purchase LEGO sets that can play a key role in their recovery and rehabilitation.
Why LEGO is Beneficial for People with Brain Injuries
LEGO is more than just a fun activity; it has significant benefits for those with brain injuries. By engaging with LEGO, individuals can work on mastering critical cognitive skills such as problem-solving, spatial awareness, and the ability to follow and understand semi-complex tasks. These activities challenge their brains in a creative and rewarding way.
In addition, building with LEGO can be a meditative experience, promoting focus and concentration. This helps our clients divert attention away from stressors, allowing them to practice mindfulness. The calming nature of connecting the bricks and following instructions encourages relaxation and reduces anxiety—two key components of emotional and cognitive healing.
How We Incorporate LEGO into Our Therapy
In our program, we plan to divide clients into teams. One team will focus on communicating the instructions while the other team builds the model. This setup aids in strengthening communication skills, improving short-term memory, and fostering teamwork. The hands-on nature of LEGO building also helps clients work on their fine motor skills and their ability to concentrate on tasks in a structured, enjoyable environment. These skills are essential in everyday life and recovery.
How You Can Make a Difference
We invite you to support our clients by purchasing LEGO sets from our Wishlist. Prices range from just £9 up to £35, so you can easily choose how much you’d like to contribute. You’ll find a variety of LEGO sets under the LEGO section on our Wishlist, as well as other items that help enrich our programs. Every purchase goes directly toward creating an environment of learning, healing, and fun for our clients.
Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in their recovery journey, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide. By contributing LEGO sets or other items from our Wishlist, you are helping us give our clients the tools they need to thrive and regain independence.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to bring joy and support to those who need it most.
