When we meet a new vendor they are frequently living from moment to moment…”where am I going to sleep?”, “what am I going to eat”, “How do I get out of the rain?”
It all starts with a sale – the power of £2.50. You have to manage your own money if you are going to make a success of your business.
The Big Issue Foundation works behind the scenes with vendors to address the issues that have led to or arisen as a result of a person becoming homeless.
Not everyone knows that we are 100% reliant on the generosity of our supporters. We are grateful for any donation that you can afford. Your generosity really does work.
With your help we can make more vendors happier, healthier, safer and more secure.
Please donate now and help us to help more vendors as they work to take back control of their lives.
Thank you
