Subscribe and help hard-pressed Big Issue vendors get through a very rough Christmas
The Big Issue is calling on people to help their vulnerable vendors this Christmas as Government Plan B restrictions, attempting to reduce the impact of Omicron, come into force and the streets empty, crippling sellers' trade.
“Vendors need your support more than ever before with the temperatures dropping and even fewer shoppers on the high street,” warns Nigel Kershaw, chair of The Big Issue Group.
“As always, the very best thing that you can do to support them is to keep buying The Big Issue over Christmas from your local vendor, but we also appreciate that isn’t an option for everyone in these difficult times.”
The solution The Big Issue has come up with – one it calls its own Plan B, is its Friends and Family Gift Subscription Offer.
“It’s especially designed to enable you and your employees to gift The Big Issue to family, friends and colleagues, knowing that your money will help us to continue providing essential support to our vendors on the frontline,” explains Kershaw.
Not only will the recipient receive an award-winning magazine each week but as thank you the Big Issue will send subscribers a limited-edition Big Issue tote bag so you can do your shopping this Christmas in style, then have it to hand ready for next year.
“The Big Issue – it’s the perfect Christmas gift for social good,” declares Kershaw.
