Ukraine
Three million people have been displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine – this week we find out what it was like for people who were already homeless and are still in the war zone. We speak to the remarkable frontline workers keeping a hostel in Kyiv open and those delivering aid on the frontline. We also trace the journey of a woman’s desperate struggle to reach safety – just one story of millions telling of heartbreak, lives disrupted in the most awful way.

A revolutionary love story
New BBC drama Then Barbara Met Alan reveals the direct action that led to the Disability Discrimination Act. Its stars Ruth Madeley and Arthur Hughes, and writers Jack Thorne and Genevieve Barr, take us inside the story of an unsung civil rights struggle.

The Big Issue

The Big Issue's own-brand products support the creation of a range of work-based opportunities for disadvantaged people.
Big Issue has spent over 30 years at the helm of self-help revolution. It all began with the launch of The Big Issue magazine in 1991, which was created to offer homeless and disadvantaged people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income by selling a magazine on the streets. Since then over 200 million copies magazine have been sold by over 100,000 people. Vendors buy the magazine upfront for £1.75 and sell it on to the public for £4.00, and in doing so each runs their own micro-enterprise. In 2005 Big Issue Invest was launched, with the aim of extending The Big Issue's mission by financing the growth of social enterprises and charities across the UK. To date the organisation has directly invested in over 350 such organisations, and manages or advises on more than £170 million of social funds.
