Big Issue Frontline
Since 1991 our Frontline teams have supported over 100,000 vendors to earn £144M, and our Hand Up service programme delivered through the Big Issue Foundation has connected more than 30,000 Big Issue vendors to the vital resources, services and opportunities needed to turn their lives around and move into employment within and beyond the Big Issue when they are ready.
Our new joint Frontline team will be responsible for supporting vendors to work their way out of poverty through setting them up to sell the magazine, providing access to health and wellbeing services and future employment opportunities. In doing so, our vendors will find it easier to access the end-to-end support they need quickly and efficiently.
We are in the process of transferring the work, experience, Frontline staff and resources of the Big Issue Foundation into the Big Issue Changing Lives Community Interest Company, alongside the Frontline sales teams of the Big Issue, to create one new joint Frontline team working under one mission.
