Call me
In an incredible Big Issue exclusive, music legends Johnny Marr and Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Chris Stein were hanging on a Zoom call together. Their conversation took in the Oscars, band bust-ups, US/UK politics and their upcoming tour. It’s the ultimate music collaboration that will have you in rapture! The amazing cover artwork is by Jimmy Turrell.

The man who scams the scammers
We’re all plagued by scam calls and spam emails, but one unassuming IT worker decided to fight back. Jim Browning is an undercover virtual vigilante who tells us about keeping safe online.

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.
