Support a Big Issue Vendor to earn, learn and thrive

At Big Issue, our mission is to change lives through enterprise, providing crucial support for individuals to earn, learn, and thrive.

In the face of rising living costs and persistent poverty, our work is more essential than ever. But access to income, through selling the magazine is just the beginning.  Our frontline teams work hard to support the vendors and help turn their lives around. 

Your support is crucial in securing the basics for Big Issue vendors through our network of partner organisations:

  • Housing: access to and maintenance of secure, affordable, and stable accommodation
  • Wellbeing: access to adequate food, weather appropriate clothing, home energy, toiletries, and other essentials
  • Health: access to the right care and treatment for physical and mental health needs, including addiction support needs, and access to resources to sustain health
  • Money: support with budgeting, saving and connection to debt support, financial advice and benefits services
  • Digital: access and capability to use the internet to reach essential services, cost efficient products and to undertake financial transactions
  • Citizenship: access to enablers for active citizenship including gaining official ID, developing language skills, and establishing social networks transactions

 

 

Whatever support you decide to provide, together we can change a vendors future with a hand up not a hand out.
