Big Issue Foundation

What we do is not rocket science. We help people right when they need it. Often with simple grants through our Vendor Support Fund that can make a big impact on the lives of our vendors. One application that was recently approved was for Mark’s new business. In his own words…

"My name is Mark. I started selling The Big Issue thirteen years ago. A friend told me about The Big Issue and suggested that I get a badge."

We are delighted and relieved to let everyone know that Ralph & Jess were happily reunited yesterday. Whilst Ralph was desperately searching for lost Jess, she made her own way back to where they were sleeping and was waiting for him when he returned! An emotional reunion to say the least.

Big Issue vendor Ralph set off a few days ago to fulfil a lifelong ambition to sail along the south coast with his best friend, his dog Jess.
