The cost-of-living crisis is hitting the poorest members of society the hardest, and it’s crucial that we provide all the assistance we can to Big Issue vendors. When you subscribe to Big Issue, all profits are reinvested into our Frontline teams, who work with vendors on a daily basis to give vendors the support they need to earn an income, access basic necessities like housing and healthcare, and to provide opportunities for education, training and employment.
As well as supporting a vital cause, you’ll also receive this special book, free of charge, which features a collection of Big Issue Letter to My Younger Self interviews featuring moving and honest conversations with 70 inspirational women.

Bridgette, Southsea, Portsmouth:
I don’t know if I found The Big Issue or they found me. But there has been no looking back. They found me a flat and I loved selling the magazine. I still love it because every magazine I sell is a thank you back to The Big Issue for the way they helped me. I’m very, very proud to sell The Big Issue. I had lost contact with my children when I was on the streets. Now I see my adult children – one’s 41 and the other is 37 – constantly and I love them dearly. There’s a good chance without The Big Issue I wouldn’t have got back in touch with them. I would have just got more and more in the gutter.
