Ukraine
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is dominating world news so we look at how people are coming to the aid of refugees and how street papers in eastern Europe are stepping up to show solidarity. We also hear from a Ukrainian charity working on the ground about how the already poor and marginalised in the country are most at risk.

Mark Rylance
The greatest actor of our age, Mark Rylance sits down to talk to The Big Issue about working during lockdown – whether that be in big budget movies with the likes of DiCaprio, or students cheeky enough to ask him to play a role in their film.

Digital inclusion
Exclusive polling by The Big Issue has found just how important access to the internet is when it comes to carrying out essential functions like finding a job or keeping up to date on Covid-19 guidance.

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.
