As a social enterprise, we invest every penny we make back into the organisation. That means that with every subscription, we are supporting people in poverty to get back on their own two feet. With your support, we help vendors to achieve financial stability and overcome social disadvantages holding them back.
The Big Issue is amazing. I love what you do for people
