0Your support changes lives by providing a hand-up, not a hand-out.
Vendors are our partners; our equals. We value them, empower them and guide them to improve their social and personal circumstances, if and when they are ready to make change. Staying true to our beliefs, we operate in a way that places the vendors’ needs at the center of our work, whatever that may be.
We deliver face-to-face support for vendors focusing on key areas of assistance that have proven to have a sustainable impact on an individual’s future, these include: accommodation, education, training and employment, finance, benefit and debt, mental wellbeing and social inclusion.
Since the pandemic begun we’ve had the toughest couple of years but thanks to people like you, we will continue to be here to support Big Issue vendors through the pandemic and beyond.
