The advancement of visual arts in Sheffield and the surrounding region for the public benefit mainly but not exclusively through workshops, exhibitions, educational courses and events.
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its
governing document
March 2012

TAR
Our main activities are hosting workshops to promote different print making techniques. We charge at a rate which is viable to cover costs, but with the intention of making them affordable to those on a low income. We also hold exhibitions and community events which are free and located in easily accessible venues in the city centre. Our studio includes regular open access free sessions, which enable us to make contact with individuals, groups and communities who cannot afford our fee-paying courses. Some events are heavily subsidised. Trustees consider the issue of public benefit at every Board meeting, and this informs decisions about how to prioritise activities.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
The charity benefit from a considerable investment of time from volunteers who support many of the key functions including: ● setting up the studio ● general day to day running of the print studio ● developing relationships with key arts and community organisations in the city and beyond ● publicity and marketing on social media and in relevant journals ● running open access activities at community events ● setting up exhibitions

Section D Achievements and performance Carousel has established itself as a valued contributor to the community arts and cultural scene in the Summary of the main achievements of the charity city in a very short period - since opening its doors to the public in September 2022. Prior to this, during the year Sheffield was the only major city in the country without an open access print studio. This has been achieved because of the dedication and commitment of a team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to set up a well organised and welcoming space and programme of activities with appropriate procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of volunteers, tutors, and participants. Care has been taken to ensure the procedures and practices regarding equipment and materials are mindful of both of environmental issues and sustainability. A wide range of weekend workshops is on offer introducing beginners to basic printing techniques and offering more sophisticated processes to those with more experience. In this period, we have hosted 40 workshops with 189 people in attendance. There were 29 active members in the period, who access to the studio facilities. Workshops have been organised with partner organisations including Flux in Rotherham & Wadsley Sanctuary. Volunteers ensure a regular social media and publicity of the event and opportunities.
