Company Info
The Big Issue
The Big Issue is a social enterprise and magazine publisher founded in 1991 to combat homelessness and poverty in the UK. It operates with a dual mission: to deliver quality journalism and to empower individuals experiencing homelessness through income-generating opportunities. The organization combines a for-profit magazine publisher with charitable support services, including The Big Issue Foundation, established in 1995. The Big Issue publishes a weekly magazine that features investigative journalism, cultural commentary, and interviews with notable figures. It also runs a vendor program, allowing homeless individuals to purchase magazines at a reduced rate and sell them for profit, providing a dignified source of income. Additionally, the organization offers support services such as financial advice, housing assistance, and health resources to its vendors. With over 220 million copies sold since its inception, The Big Issue has adapted to challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic by enhancing digital sales and vendor relief efforts, maintaining its commitment to social impact and community support.
