An A4 leaflet promoting Charles Street Arts Foundation, printed in blue on white paper and folded three ways. It is thought this document is from around 1990, as it accompanies other documents from that date in the archive.

The front of the sheet includes:
- The front cover, with an elaborate illustration of a building including stylised people, craft tools, and a keyboard. A circular inset shows a drawing of a tower from St David's Cathedral of Charles Street. To the side of this is written in capital letters: "Charles Street Arts Foundation" and "Cymdeithas Gelfyddydau Heol Siarl".
- A form to apply for membership.
- A description of how the Foundation is funded and how it "depends for most of it's [sic] finance on members subscriptions, and on the goodwill of others to provide their time, goods and services at as little cast as possible. From 1985 to 1988 the Foundation had funding to run an office and had the services of staff from the City Council's Community Programme Agency. This enabled the organisation to greatly expand it's activities, providing work for artists and musicians and trained many of them to go onto worthwhile jobs in the arts. Sadly, this scale of funding has not been matched since then and today the Foundation is a completely voluntary body."
- The final 'Over to You' section invites readers to become a member.

In June 1977, Cardiff Community Concern started the Charles Street Carnival as a community groups' alternative celebration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. This became an annual event and grew into a separate organisation, Charles Street Arts Foundation. The Foundation came to employ artists and staff but was founded and run by volunteers. Cardiff Community Concern, also founded and run by volunteers, was an alternative advice and information centre for young people, based in 58 Charles Street.
