Join us and run to support Big Issue vendors in Bath!

 

Between March 2020 and April 2021, The Big Issue supported 3,027 Big Issue vendors to earn a legitimate income through selling Big Issue magazines on the street of the UK.

We also provided over £1.3m of direct financial support, to support with food, fuel costs, preventing evictions and more.

Our Bath office is located at Green Park Station and supports vendors in and around Bath in areas including accommodation, finance and health. When vendors are ready, we also support them to move on to mainstream employment.

This summer we celebrated much-loved Bath vendor Ian Duff returning to his previous work as a chef where you can now find him cooking up a feast at The Pack Horse in South Stoke!
