Just a few short weeks ago the LEGO Group and Fairy Bricks announced they would be bringing the joy of LEGO® sets to the staff and families of the NHS working hard to keep us safe during these difficult times. This incredible gesture was conceived and announced in less than 24 hours and just over 3 weeks later the team at Fairy Bricks have now delivered over 32,000 LEGO sets to locations across the UK. These have been given to front line workers to bring a little smile to their young families, during these scary times.
Although this mission is complete, the current situation is still affecting all aspects of daily life. Within the world of LEGO, this has seen numerous LEGO events cancelled or postponed. In turn, this means that Fairy Bricks have been unable to attend these events to raise money to allow them to continue the amazing work in the normal world. Although you can’t pop along to an event to help raise funds you can do a little something from the comfort of your home.
With many people staying safe at home, you could be saving a couple of pounds by not having a daily coffee or lunchtime sandwich, why not consider donating what you would have spent on those, to Fairy Bricks? It’s easy to donate online. Another simpler way to help is by signing up to Amazon Smile for free. With many now having to rely on shopping online, you can give a little directly to Fairy Bricks each time you shop with Amazon at no extra cost to you. Visit Amazon Smile and search Fairy Bricks to nominate them as your Smile charity.
I know these are difficult times for many but the work Fairy Bricks do is amazing and once they are able to distribute LEGO safely to hospital patients, bringing a smile to those who need it just as important now than it ever was.

Fairy Bricks are one of those incredible organisations that don’t seek publicity but silently fulfil the dreams of children everywhere.
Well done. Awesome people!
