OUR MISSION


The Big Issue has spent 17 years helping homeless people to help themselves. We have challenged conventional wisdom, pushed boundaries and created social change - and we intend to continue doing so. In the next 3 years The Big Issue Foundation wants to ensure that every vendor has:

  • somewhere meaningful to call home
  • access to a doctor and equality of access to health care opportunities
  • the essential support that is needed to overcome addictions
  • direct help with their sales skills to maximise their independent earnings
  • the crucial personal identification that opens so many doors
  • access to additional financial support and secure saving opportunities
  • the opportunity to re-connect with family members and loved ones
  • provide a national voice for people ignored by so many
