For our vendors, The Big Issue has always been ‘a hand up, not a hand out’. But under lockdown and for the first time in our history, we had to rely on online sales and public donations to support them.

Support payments to each of our 1340 regular vendors
Additional welfare support in the form of food vouchers, meter top-ups and other emergency aid

Continuing to produce The Big Issue. By keeping us going, we’ve been able to support our vendors
