The Big Issue Foundation sat down and chatted with The Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons, which speaks to Parsons’ caring heart. Why? Because not many celebrities would likely take the time out of their horrendously busy press tour time to talk to an organization that produces a publication that is free and handed out to homeless, street people. But Parsons is the exception.
The Big Issue Foundation, a financially independent organization, believes in “a hand up and not a hand out” and works to empower people to achieve things for themselves rather than having things done for them. The Big Issue Foundation offers the incentive of earning an income, meaning that they engage a number of individuals who are not seen by other services or projects. They work only with Big Issue vendors. People who are homeless are often excluded from mainstream society, financially impoverished and disadvantaged in multiple ways; Big Issue seeks to address the fundamental issues attached to social and financial exclusion.
Big Issue operates an open door policy and work with individuals who have made the first step to try and work themselves out of homelessness. Our charity work focuses on delivering brighter futures, boosting self esteem and helping vendors to reclaim their citizenship.
