VENT is a Bristol based ethical stationery brand with a mission; to help children worldwide have access to the education they deserve. Proceeds from every VENT product sold go towards global education projects getting children back in to school. How it all began.. In 2014 environmental entrepreneur Evan Lewis, bought an ageing rundown facility producing pencils from recycled CD cases. After 18 months of hard work the improvements the team made were producing an additional one million pencils a year. At around the same time there was a string of devastating natural and manmade disasters which were effecting children worldwide, especially their education. Whole communities had been affected and children had lost their chance of going to school. “Pencils are the most iconic educational tool going back centuries and I wanted to do something with them, something inspirational.� Evan Lewis Founder of VENT for Change. After months speaking with NGOs and charities it was clear education was a priority the world over, but the key was money. Money to rebuild schools, pay teachers and provide essential materials. Evan then fell upon a solution. Sell his pencils and other stationery here in the UK and from the proceeds support existing education projects around the world.

Our Bright Futures Campaign raises money for one of the UK’s leading children’s charities. All the money raised is ring-fenced specifically for their education projects supporting children back into school. Children affected by war & conflict, natural disaster and extreme poverty. Education is the single most important thing a child can have to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
As well as raising funds for existing projects worldwide VENT also gives away thousands of pencils each year to children worldwide. Via a network of volunteers and organisations pencils are provided free of charge to children and schools desperate for learning materials. A pencil is sometimes the only difference between a child attending school or not.
