Changing lives through enterprise
When most people think of the Big Issue, they think of our vendors selling the magazine on the streets and we are immensely proud of this.
Our unique model allows people affected by poverty to earn an immediate income. Vendors buy our award-winning magazine for £2 and sell it for £4, keeping the profit, whilst gaining valuable social, business and financial skills. But that’s just the start, what we do is so much bigger.
Our team support vendors to access essential services, across five key pillars, to help them get back on their feet and work towards a better future for themselves.
Housing
Our team provide a highly tailored
accommodation service which seeks
to understand the specific needs each
individual has and secure suitable
housing.
