Support our work

Right now, 3.8 million people in the UK can’t afford to eat properly, stay warm, or cover the basics. We’re here to change that. 

At Big Issue, we don’t believe in handouts. We believe in work that works – creating chances for people to earn, learn, and thrive

Chances like selling Big Issue magazine for fast and steady income, getting into work through Big Issue Recruit, funding social businesses that fight poverty and inequality through Big issue Invest and campaigning to end poverty – because the system needs fixing, too. 

We’re a social business and a B Corp. No big shareholders. No hidden agenda. Just people-powered progress, backed by supporters like you.
