We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the breath-taking Roundabout Roses at Sheffield Cathedral. This large-scale art installation, brought to you by South Yorkshire’s youth homelessness charity, Roundabout, powerfully represents the young homeless people they’ve supported since the start of the cost-of-living crisis.
Crafted by talented sculptor James Sutton and The Spitfire Forge, this installation features 1,800 handmade roses in mild and stainless steel. Each rose embodies the strength of young homeless individuals, challenging stereotypes and offering a new narrative of hope and growth. Each Roundabout Rose symbolises a young person and their potential to grow and flourish, despite life’s challenges. The steel Roundabout Roses also reinforce and honour South Yorkshire’s rich industrial heritage in the metal works and forges.
Visitors can explore the installation at Sheffield Cathedral until the end of October 2024. Feel free to interact with the roses, delve into the stories behind them, and discover more about the incredible work that Roundabout does and young lives they’ve transformed.
Last year, 136,000 young people in the UK declared themselves homeless, equating to one every four minutes. Roundabout Roses aims to raise awareness about the scale of youth homelessness in South Yorkshire and highlight each young person’s unique journey.
Support Roundabout’s mission by pledging on a rose today. After the exhibition, you can take home a beautiful symbol of a young person’s journey toward a brighter future. Join us in celebrating resilience, growth, and the promise of new beginnings with the Roundabout Roses.
