Stationery Aid

Founded in 2020, Stationery Aid is a charity based in Australia working on education, poverty & hunger, environment & climate.

Stationery Aid is a Queensland-based registered charity and public benevolent institution that collects surplus, gently used school stationery, refurbishes it and redistributes it to students, schools and families experiencing hardship across Australia. Its work aims to reduce educational resource inequality and divert stationery from landfill, promoting sustainability and the circular economy. The organisation works with school partners, community groups, local governments and sponsors, and runs collection points across Queensland. It was founded in 2020 by Alison and Jan Schutt after seeing large volumes of usable school supplies go to waste. Its stated vision is a future where no child is held back by lack of access to basic educational resources.
