Why donate?
We provide students with free stationery so they can save on the cost of learning materials, helping us work towards equity for students. In the process, this helps our UNSW community work towards a more sustainable future by reusing materials that would otherwise go to landfill.
What isn't used on our students is used to create learning support packs for Shack Tutoring that coaches high school students in disadvantaged local communities or is given to local community members via Facebook Marketplace.
