Big Issue Promise
Your purchase of the Big Issue Vendor Support Kit helps to cover the cost of the items in the kit and supports the vital efforts of the Big Issue Support Service (Big Issue Changing Lives CIC).
Our Support Team will distribute the items in the Big Issue Vendor Support kit to vendors as they visit local offices to purchase their magazines. Distribution of items will be based on the level of support from the public for the Vendor Support kits and the individual vendor need for each of the items in the kit.
Our Support Team has enabled over 110,000 vendors to sell 229 million copies of the Big Issue magazine and earn more than £154 million in income, since 1991.
Our team helps set people up as vendors so they can sell the magazine and start earning an income from day one. The team also supports vendors to access essential services, across our five key impact pillars, to help people get back on their feet and work towards a better future for themselves.
