Frank Stationery

Our story began one evening in 2012, when we sat down for dinner and accidentally switched on a documentary about Child Poverty in New Zealand. Totally unaware that poverty like this even existed in NZ, we sat there in shock, not really believing what we were seeing. The part that shocked us the most, was that this poverty was happening so close to where we were living. How could New Zealand children be experiencing such hardship just down the road from us, and why didn’t we know about it until now? So we went out to see for ourselves, visiting schools and talking to teachers about the challenges their students & families face. The stories were heart-stopping, tragic, unjust and frustrating. We watched children leaving schools with no shoes, no backpacks, no schoolbooks and no jumpers in the middle of winter, the basic tools they needed for an education. This is when we began brainstorming. We decided to adopt the Buy One, Give One model and sell beautifully designed stationery that would give back stationery supplies and school books to the children that needed them most. It was then, from the dining table of our little house, that FRANK Stationery was born. Whether it’s our Diaries and Planners reminding you to be present, The Beautiful Thoughts Journal helping you to think more beautifully or our To Do Book simply getting you on top of your tasks, we believe in the power of our products. To date, we’ve given back over books and we’re so proud of the impact this has had and for all that is to come! So to our community reading this, our supporters and those who we have yet to meet, let’s keep joining together to look after those who need a helping hand. We’ve now got you covered for your daily list writing, journaling, and note-taking needs. Choose FRANK and change a little life in the process. Join us in our dream to get a school book to every child in need in New Zealand.
