Big Issue

The Big Issue is a social enterprise that helps homeless and vulnerable individuals by providing them with the means to earn a living. It involves selling a magazine called The Big Issue, which vendors buy at a discounted rate and sell to the public at full price. This model offers vendors financial independence, dignity, and a pathway back into the community, while raising awareness about homelessness issues. The Big Issue operates in several countries and focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary aid, empowering individuals to rebuild their lives through work and support.
