Small Change
for a Big Difference
Help, in the form of
a magazine, is available for homeless people who seek a better existence than
the uncertain lives they lead on the streets. The Big Issue is one of the first
magazine s of its kind and its main concern is to provide income and better
chances to those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. It is sold
exclusively by homeless people, who get to keep 80 pence out of the 1.50 pounds
that they sell the magazine for.
This prized magazine,
which offers entertainment as well as the latest news developments, was started
by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in 1991. Worried about the enormous number of
people living on the streets of London, the two businessmen decided to do
something about it. The idea for the magazine arose when Roddick went to New
York and came across a newspaper that was sold by homeless people there.
Originally, the
magazine came out monthly, and was distributed around London. Yet, such was its
success, that two years after its first publication, The Big Issue started
coming out once a week. Not only that, but shortly later it became available in
other areas of England, as well as Scotland and Wales. Today, along with the
five local editions that go out to most parts of the UK, the magazine also
enjoys international status.
The quality of
the magazine is very high, as its pages are filled with informative and
entertaining articles written by expert reporters. There is also a section
where homeless people have their stories and articles published. Not only this,
but respected celebrities such as David Beckham and Sir Paul McCartney have at
times contributed their thoughts and ideas to the pages of The Big Issue.
The increasing number
of homeless people who were willing to participate in the sale of the magazine
gave rise to another great idea. In 1995 The Big Issue Foundation was set up. This
is a charity organization, but it is not one that sees the homeless as beggars
in need of a few pounds. In the organisation’s own words, they are there to
help homeless people “off the streets and into a life, that is, training,
education, accommodation and transformation.
