I am 13 years old and I live in Hassocks. I love Lego, but I also know how it is made of plastic, which harms the environment, so I have started up Hassocks Brick Library. This is a non-profit local organisation that will help to make Lego more affordable and eco-friendly.

Hassocks Brick Library is aimed at anyone aged eight or above, including adults! You can take Lego sets out for a week for £3, or by reasonable donation. The library is now open and ready for borrowers.

We will also run a monthly club in Hassocks on a Saturday morning, where you will be able to join fellow builders and take part in fun activities. There are only 15 club spaces, so hurry!

There will also be a members’ group that will meet once a month to discuss the next steps for the library and club and to share ideas. In the future, we are interested in starting a home-education group and expanding the library to include local schools.

To join or ask any questions, please contact us at hassocksbrickclub@gmail.com. To find out more, search online for ‘Hassocks Brick Club’. If you have any spare Lego sets, please get in touch as we are always in need of more donations.
