With 3.8 million people in the UK experiencing destitution, we create opportunities and solutions for people to work, earn, learn and thrive.
Big Issue Group was founded in 1991 with a simple but radical idea: to give people experiencing homelessness a hand-up, not a handout. What began as a magazine created to help people earn an income with dignity has grown into one of the UK’s most respected and impactful social enterprises.
Today, we’re a mission-driven Group and a certified B Corp, united by a commitment to ending poverty and creating opportunities for people to work, earn, learn and thrive. Our foundations remain the same as they were in 1991 - practical solutions, human connection, and belief in people’s potential. But our work now stretches far beyond the magazine, reaching communities across the UK through an expanded, collaborative network of social businesses.
A world that works for everyone.
To dismantle poverty through social business solutions.
Big Issue is made up of five services:
At Big Issue Group, we create solutions that help people lift themselves out of poverty for good.
We bring together Big Issue Media, Big Issue Invest, Big Issue Recruit, and our wider Impact and Support services - each playing a crucial role in tackling the root causes of poverty. Together, we deliver impact across five core pillars: Learning & Employment, Housing, Health & Wellbeing, Environment & Community, and Financial & Digital Inclusion.
These pillars shape everything we do. They guide the stories we tell in our journalism. They inform the tailored support we give Big Issue vendors and the pathways we build for Big Issue Recruit candidates. They underpin the social investments we facilitate through Big Issue Invest. And they drive our campaigning work to shift policy and challenge the systems that keep people trapped in poverty.
Our approach goes beyond short-term fixes. We focus on long-lasting, systemic change - backing local leaders, strengthening communities and championing sustainable solutions that deliver real impact, today and for future generations.
Our values guide every decision we make and every relationship we build. They reflect who we are, what we stand for and how we show up for each other, for our vendors and candidates, and for communities across the UK. They are the principles that keep us focused on creating long-lasting change and a world that works for everyone.
