The LEGO Group treat London kids to their “best day ever!”


The first to experience the new LEGO store, now the biggest in the world, the day before its official re-opening, were 80 children, parents and carers, supported by two organisations from our network – H.O.P.E. at Morningside and Stow Residents.
H.O.P.E. at Morningside and Stow Residents were selected from 57 expressions of interest we received from London-based organisations in our charitable network who directly support children and young people.
On top of an incredible afternoon of play and activities, the LEGO Group arranged transport for the day, provided refreshments and gave gift vouchers so that every child who attended could choose a gift of their choice.
Our thanks to Sarah , Filipe, Katrin and all the team at LEGO in their support to deliver this wonderful event, and for all the passion they put into our partnership.
