Who are we?
Archer Project Enterprises is the trading subsidiary of The Archer Project,
a charity in Sheffield helping homeless and vulnerable people change their
lives for the better. Through Archer Project Enterprises we employ 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 move forward towards fulfilling lives.
Through ‘Printed by Us’, our ethical clothing and artwork brand, we run
workshops to teach the people we employ the craft of hand screen printing.
We print small batches of our unique products designed by some the finest
independent creatives which we then sell online, at events and through our
retail unit in Orchard Square. We also deliver commercial cleaning services
to a range of local partners through our ‘Just Clean’ social enterprise.
