The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation is an Irish children’s charity that funds and delivers vital in-home nursing, respite support, and end-of-life care for children from birth to six years of age who have highly complex and life-limiting medical conditions.

Carmel Doyle, CEO of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation explained that the children's charity has a "mammoth fundraising hill to climb every year, with only 25% of our €6.8 million annual budget coming from the HSE."

Commenting on the initiative, she said, "We invite families, preschools, schools and businesses across the country to donate their pre-loved LEGO to Jack and Jill, because every €18 raised through this LEGO recycling drive will fund one hour of home nursing care for a local family under our care."
