Over the weekend, the much-loved UK-based charity, Fairy Bricks suffered a devastating break-in. The LEGO-focused charity brings the joy of LEGO® sets to those who need it most, in hospitals and hospices across the UK and beyond. This targeted break-in has seen not only LEGO stock stolen but also the van used to deliver them. Fairy Bricks have found it difficult enough during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they have been unable to attend events to raise funds for their charity efforts. Something like this will be a major setback. If you see any LEGO sets at too-good-to-be-true prices or the famous Fairy Bricks van, please contact the police or CrimeStoppers. Hopefully, thoelse who have done this will be caught.
If you really want to show your support you can donate to Fairy Bricks right here.

Fairy Bricks are such an awesome charity and the work they do is so very important. I’m sickened that some low life scum could even think of targeting this incredible organisation. Sadly, it’s not the first time they’ve been robbed. Their previous van was broken into in November 2017 and over 2000 Lego sets were taken by thieves.
Let’s hope the police get lucky and catch the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
In the meantime please donate what you can to help support Fairy Bricks and the vital work they do.
