Support Jack & Jill with LEGO donations!

The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation is now collecting loose Lego as a new ‘currency’ to fund home nursing care for children from birth to 4 years old with severe to profound disabilities supported by the charity across the country.  This local and national children’s charity, known for its creative fundraising campaigns, is now urging families, preschools, schools and businesses across the Country to donate or to sell their unwanted Lego to Jack & Jill who will sell it on and use the funds raised to fund home nursing care hours for sick children. 

What Jack & Jill is looking for is loose Lego; no need for complete sets or boxes, and people can donate the Lego via DPD Ireland’s 38 depots around the country, with locations listed on www.dpd.ie and www.jackandjill.ie.  But people must be careful that it is only Lego they donate and not the cheaper, plastic versions and all Lego blocks clearly have the Lego brand marked on each piece.

Alternatively, people can donate or sell the Lego via one of Jack & Jill’s six Charity Boutiques located in Arklow, Carlow, Naas, Newbridge Crookstown and Wicklow, with the charity buying the Lego for €4 per kilo.

Every €16 raised through this Jack & Jill’s Lego Appeal will fund one hour of home nursing care for a sick child.
