Did you know that Big Issue North carries out approximately 650 community outreach sessions each year to help members of our community actively living on the streets and in need of immediate support! Our outreach work makes every effort to encourage and offer those on the streets, a work opportunity, a place to go and someone to listen. When an individual wishes to be registered with Big Issue North, they receive a new vendor starter pack which includes a Big Issue vendor bib, Vendor Badge and registered pitch,10 free magazines and an initial vendor session to see how our team can support them with their personal circumstances e.g. housing, wellbeing or citizenship status. Big Issue North strives to help people find their feet, gain financial independence to accelerating their journey out of poverty.
It is only with your support and donations that Big Issue North can continue to address the high community demand for outreach within our local communities and to make sure we can give people the opportunity to make a real success of breaking the barricades of poverty currently in their way.
