Big Issue Foundation

Awards 2014

The small team at the Big Issue Foundation was thrilled to be the official charity of the WhatsOnStage Awards Launch at Cafe de Paris on Friday 6th December. West End stars and the talented individuals and teams behind the productions were out in force for the spirited event.

Following a lively and entertaining speech by John Bird guests were incredibly open to finding out how they could become involved with The Big Issue Foundation through Stage Swap. Stage Swap sees leading actors, directors and producers swapping their theatre stage for the streets and selling The Big Issue for the equivalent of one theatre performance, just 3 hours. Almost 1 in 5 of the guests at the event signed up to find out more. Register for updates on future Stage Swaps.
