</div>
<div>Hi, we are Andro &amp; Eve and we are a not for profit queer arts organisation who have been working with the LGBTQ+ community and friends in Sheffield and South Yorkshire for the last 10 years. We collaborate with artists to deliver accessible creative workshops and events to celebrate queer culture and connect our community. We focus on voices that are otherwise marginalised, to reflect and celebrate the diversity that exists within the LGBTQIA community and challenge ongoing discrimination and injustice.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are asking for your support after facing loss of ticket income and a budget shortfall for our Arts Council funded programme of activity. Our most recent event, Reyt Queer Extravaganza made a loss of £1.5k because of spiralling costs and weaker ticket sales than predicted, despite us making a conservative projection on sales. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This programme of creative activity delivered in Sheffield and Doncaster between October 2025 - May 2026 has seen us deliver 6 queer dance workshops, a weekend of drag king workshops, 3 large scale queer performance events, a volunteer training session, and an artist development day for local LGBTQ+ artists. Through this we have reached hundreds of people, enabling them to make connections, develop their skills and confidence, and raise the visibility of queer culture in South Yorkshire. Feedback received demonstrates the impact of this activity -

</div>
<div>“It genuinely lifted my mood, supported my mental and physical health, and gave me something joyful to look forward to” - Feeling Fabulous Participant
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you’ll be aware, we are living through incredibly volatile times, and Andro &amp; Eve has been hit with the same rising costs that are affecting so many businesses at this time. Our budget for this programme of activity was set in June 2025. Despite us building in a healthy contingency, the difference in project costs outstripped the contingency we built in. We could not have predicted the dire situation caused by the current economic and political crises, with the Iran War having major impact. Transport, fuel, printing, accommodation, food - everything has gone up in price, while our funding remained the same.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve been working behind the scenes to cover and reduce as many costs as we could, seeking other income from sponsors, but to have cut any further would have meant sacrificing the accessibility of our offer, i.e. not paying artists fair rates, or reducing our access budget, which would have compromised our values and practices around accessibility and equity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our <a href="https://androandeve.com/membership/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">member offer</a>  is designed to help Andro &amp; Eve become more sustainable and keep showing up to build spaces of queer creativity and connection, but it will take time to build enough members to sustain our work. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We need this funding now to recoup these costs and cover our budget deficit. Andro and Eve, despite our 10 year history, is only a tiny organisation, and we do not hold enough reserves to cover these costs. These losses threaten our future. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A donation means Andro &amp; Eve can keep working to make accessible spaces that bring joy, queer art and community connection to Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Will you support us today? Donations of all sizes, however much you can spare, are so appreciated. Donate today to help Andro and Eve recoup our costs and survive!</strong>
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>About Andro and Eve </strong>
</div>
<div>Andro and Eve was established in 2016 in response to the lack of accessible and inclusive opportunities to enjoy queer culture in Sheffield not focused around late night venues or drinking. We are proud to be led by and for the community we serve, with a board of volunteer directors who guide the organisation. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since our founding we have produced 83 independent LGBTQ+ cultural events, alongside commissions for other organisations, engaging with over 5,300 participants and audience members at our events and workshops. We have created one of the UK’s largest drag king cabarets, The Kingdom Come, helping support the explosion of this exciting artform. Our queer cabaret, A Reyt Queer Do has been providing a platform for fresh queer talent since 2017. Our longer term projects have seen us work with LGBTQ+ young people in Sheffield and Doncaster, and trans and non binary adults in Sheffield. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2021 we have delivered Gender Awareness training to over 1000 people, working with organisations across the UK to develop understanding around equity for trans and non-binary people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Andro &amp; Eve Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>-We make spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, accessible and safer. 
</div>
<div>-These spaces enable LGBTQ+ to connect with their community
</div>
<div>- We build access and equity into all our working practices, removing barriers to enable those often marginalised to participate in our programmes and collaborate with us.
</div>
<div>-We provide paid employment for queer artists and creatives in the North of England
</div>
<div>-We provide talent development opportunities for emerging LGBTQ+ artists
</div>
<div>-We deliver creative workshops for LGBTQ+ young people in South Yorkshire
</div>
<div>-We are run for the benefit of the community, we are a not for profit organisation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From demographic data gathered between 2022 - 2025 we know that we reach audiences that are not so well represented in other cultural spaces ie. LGBQ people, women, trans and gender expansive people, refugees, disabled people or those living with long term health conditions and those of the Global Majority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As one audience member in 2025 said, “Andro &amp; Eve is a fantastic organisation that is half the reason queer art exists in Sheffield. They're inclusive, passionate about what they do, and their events are always a really good time!”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate today to help Andro and Eve recoup project costs </strong>
</div>
<div>We need your help to recoup these immediate project costs, helping to restore financial stability and to give us a chance to generate revenue through our member offer, Gender Awareness Training and other fundraising efforts in the next few months. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now more than ever, us LGBTQ+ folks need safer spaces where we can feel joy and hope. Help Andro &amp; Eve survive and continue to show up and make these spaces of hope and possibility for LGBTQ+ people in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
