We do this by creating opportunities for people affected by poverty to work, earn, learn and thrive, offering real-world solutions for people to lift themselves out of poverty.​​

From our award-winning journalism—delivered through the Big Issue magazine, web

site, and app— to our investing and recruitment services, we champion bold ideas and positive action to end poverty in the UK.​
