Katie’s Pen Bank – A Simple Idea Making a Big Impact

I’ve been fortunate to receive incredible support from Totally Branded, a fantastic company in Norfolk that has helped in my efforts to provide stationery to schools. Their generosity has made a huge difference, and their support shows how businesses can play a crucial role in helping their communities.

You Can Do the Same!

If you want to help, there are so many ways to make a difference where you live!

Arrange Drop-Off Points – Set up collection boxes in schools, libraries, or local businesses to make donating easy.

Create Social Media Posts – Spread awareness online and encourage donations from people in your area.

Put Up Posters – A simple flyer in cafes, community centers, or shops can go a long way in getting support.

Connect with Local Businesses – Many companies have excess pens, notebooks, and stationery that they would happily donate.

How to Get Involved?

So far, I’ve received over 12,000 donated pens, several thousand notebooks, plus a range of other stationery items—but I’m still looking for more to support even more schools and initiatives.
