Community
A big part of why I run Brighton Bricks is the ability to use LEGO to help people, to be part of the community.
These are some of the community events we have done. If you are a charity, business or community organisation and would like to work with Brighton Bricks give me a shout at nick@brightgreenpenguin.com
