WELCOME

Build Recovery is a new project, running Lego workshops to help communities heal.

ABOUT

Build Recovery is run by and for people in recovery and their families. Lego is a great way to chill out, but also to get creative, communicate, and connect with others.

TESTIMONIALS

"Sometimes recovery spaces can be chaotic and judgemental and difficult and it wasn't at all, it was chill and I needed that"

“Like recovery, it’s like rebuilding a life and community... it's like doing it together and it's being able to build something from all the rubble... Just like my recovery journey”

"I love this idea of using Lego as a recovery tool, it's superb.”

EVENTS

  • Lego Workshop in Dunbar

    The Ridge, High Street, Dunbar
    Free to attend, drop in, no booking required

    Build Recovery is delighted to return to Dunbar’s Festival of Recovery for the third year running.

    We’ve enjoyed a special relationship with The Ridge, valuing its work to bring the local community together and create opportunities for employment and wellbeing.

    This year is particularly special as new facilitators help lead the workshop as Build Recovery grows. Join us for LEGO set building, warm-up challenges, free building and our popular roller coaster activity, with colouring available for younger children.

    There’s something for all ages and interests, and we encourage the whole family to join in. Whether you’re an experienced builder or simply curious, come along and enjoy some time creating together.

    Explore the festival programme for more activities taking place over the weekend at venues across East Lothian.

  • RecoverMay in Angus

    4th to the 7th of May 2026

    We’re bringing a proper LEGO® bonanza your way — with sessions happening across four days… and not just four workshops… but FIVE! 👀

    We’ll be visiting recovery cafés across Angus, bringing creative, relaxed LEGO sessions that are all about connection, confidence and community.

    Expect:
    🧱 Hands-on LEGO building (no experience needed)
    🤝 A chance to connect with others in a relaxed space
    💬 Good conversations and positive vibes
    🎁 And a lovely surprise we’re keeping under wraps for now…

    We’re also leaving behind plenty of LEGO to help keep things going — so if you’ve ever thought about taking something like this forward locally, this could be your chance.

    Come along, get involved, and be part of something that can grow beyond the sessions themselves.

    More details coming soon — keep your eyes peeled 👀
    We can’t wait to see you there 💛

  • Get booked in whilst you can!

    DescHere’s a polished version you can use as a social post or message—kept in your tone but tightened and flowing a bit better:

    Build Recovery has a couple of spaces coming up 👀

    We’ve got one slot available at the end of a very busy week delivering four workshops across Angus — but we’re keen to keep the momentum going, so we’re looking to squeeze in one more session on the Friday.

    Then, a couple of weeks later (over the May weekend), we may have another opportunity to fit in a session too.

    Our usual rhythm is every second Friday, and we’re now starting to look ahead for the year — so if you’d like to get something booked in, now’s a great time to get in touch.

    We can occasionally offer Saturdays or special event days, and while midweek sessions are a bit trickier, it’s always worth reaching out to check availability.

    If you’re interested in bringing a Build Recovery session to your community, just drop us a message or give us a call 👍

    If you want, I can tighten it further for a graphic version or make it more “funding-safe” for partners.ription goes here
