Printed by Us
Printed by Us is a Social enterprise that employs people who have experienced homelessness to overcome adversities in a supported environment
Project Overview
The Archer Project has a proven history of transforming the lives of the vulnerable and homeless from Sheffield and the wider region. We are integral to the community of ostracised people who most need help and understanding. We give vulnerable people the tools to rebuild their lives. The aid and support given follow individuals in their journey through to regaining the confidence and ability to volunteer or enter employment. As a charity, we constantly adapt and learn to ensure that the best possible support is delivered to those who come to us for help.
Printed By Us is one of our most valued parts of our Charity. It is a social enterprise that employs people who have experienced homelessness and overcome similar adversities in a supported environment. We believe there is hope and a way forward for every person. We give opportunities for vulnerable people to learn new skills, build confidence and thrive within their work and home environment.
We run workshops to teach vulnerable people the craft of hand screen printing. We employ individuals with lived experience to print small batches of unique Art prints designed by some the finest local creatives. We then sell these exclusive art prints, mugs, t-shirts and sweaters, primarily via our retail unit & online shop. We also offer a custom printing service to organisations who need high quality printing on excellent quality, ethically-made garments. We are crowdfunding to raise money for our equipment costs. The money raised will go towards allowing us to continue offering supported employment opportunities to vulnerable people while teaching new skills and crafts.
