General information
Service offered: Big Issue North believes that everyone has the right to earn an independent income. That’s why we do not ask for a permanent address, ID, a bank account, qualifications, or previous experience – anyone who wants to sell The Big Issue can do so. Big Issue vendors are self-employed and buy magazines from one of our regional offices for £2 each, then sell them on established pitches in towns and cities for £4 across the north, keeping the £2 they make from every sale. Selling The Big Issue also gives vendors motivation and helps to boost their self-esteem. As well as selling the magazine, our vendors are given advice by staff on how to get help with anything from developing their skills or accessing English language courses, to getting housing, financial or health advice, which can help them achieve their goals and improve their lives for good.
