The Brick Bus Campaign
The Brick Bus is our first major project. We aim to raise funds to purchase and fit out a small bus with everything we need to take our services on the road.
What is it all about?
The Brick Bus, a traveling LEGO® experience designed to bring the foundation’s therapeutic building sessions directly to children who need them most.
The Brick Engaged Foundation, founded by Lego Masters NZ contestant Dan Mulholland, runs Mindful LEGO® Building sessions for neuro-divergent children and those facing mental health challenges. These small-group sessions create safe, welcoming environments where kids can develop social skills, life skills, and mental wellbeing while playing with LEGO® bricks.
Dan has been a passionate Lego builder and fan for all of his life but in recent years has focussed on how building with the much-loved little bricks can help people with depression, anxiety, PTSD and mental health issues.
