real lives, real achievements

 

Real Lives, Real Achievements is an annual awards event which aims to recognise and celebrate our remarkable vendors and the brave steps they have taken in their jounrney away from homelessness.

From overcoming long-term drug addiction, to successful completion of a vocational course; from charitable work to starting a business - each story represents immense personal triumph in the face of adversity.

The tenacity and bravery which these individuals has demonstrated makes them a credit to The Big Issue and to society, and in recognition of their achievements we are awarding each of them the status of Big Issue Ambassdor.

Congratulations to this year's award recipients - (clockwise from top left) Sean, Gareth, Adrian, Gianpaolo & Simona and Lee, And to all those vendors across the country striving to make positive changes in their lives - we salute you!

With thanks to our Supporting Partners - Cadbury, CNN (part of the Turner Broadcasting Group), and Proud Camden.
