British Motor Museum Launches the Brick Bank

The Brick Bank is a new scheme run by the British Motor Museum, collecting pre-loved LEGO® bricks and donating them to the children who need them most. These kids have often never owned these bricks before – so this will make a massive difference to their lives. Building with bricks develops a child’s creativity, motor skills and well-being, all important for their future development. And, of course, recycling bricks rather than just throwing them away is much better for the environment, too!

If you’d like to donate your bricks, there is a donation box available in the Museum Welcome Gallery. Stop by during your visit and deposit your bricks into the box. It’s a great opportunity to have a clear out before the new Christmas toys take over! You can drop the bricks in to the Museum or give them a call and arrangements could be made for someone to collect them.

Additionally, if you’re an expert builder who would like to help Museum staff and volunteers to create the kits, get in touch! Your support will be appreciated.
