Christmas Appeal

There’s No Place Like Home…

For most of us at Christmas time, home is a place to relax and enjoy spending time with friends and family. A place to feel warm, well fed and at ease. For Big Issue Vendor Harry and his good friend Vinny, ‘home’ means just one thing - safety.

At Christmas, having a safe place to call home is more valuable than ever. Will you help us to make Harry and Vinny’s Christmas wish come true?


Harry and Vinny have been promised a home for Christmas, but that promise has been made before and they know that this year, like the last, they will probably spend Christmas alone in their room in a hostel. Read their story in our Xmas newsletter.

A gift to the Big Issue Foundation today could help us find a real home for Harry and Vinny and give them a new start in life.
