Become a Big Issue Corporate Member

Does your organisation want to help end poverty in the UK?

Are you outraged that 3.8 million people in the UK live in extreme poverty? So are we. Become a Big Issue corporate member and enable us to create solutions to unlock opportunities for millions of vulnerable people affected by poverty.

Becoming a corporate member empowers us to create innovative solutions that help people work their way out of poverty. It also means we can help more organisations secure funding to tackle the poverty crisis.

But we don’t stop there. Through our campaigning, we raise awareness of the poverty crisis and pressure the government to enact the policy changes needed to end poverty in the UK – once and for all.

You can learn more about our impact here.

Why become a Big Issue corporate member?

Poverty is destroying our society, impacting more of our neighbours, friends, and families. The crisis is growing, and the government isn’t acting quickly enough. We can’t turn away. 

Despite this grim reality, there is cause for optimism. Communities across the country are coming together in greater numbers than ever, committed to rebuilding from the ground up. Local people, businesses, and organisations like yours are uniting to create solutions, offering hope that we can reverse the poverty crisis with collective action. 

Help us create lasting solutions to the poverty crisis. For just £250 annually, your organisation can become a founding member and be part of a movement demanding an end to poverty.
