We need your help!

As you know, we're doing this in aid of The Big Issue Foundation, and we've (finally) set up our fundraising page. We are aiming to raise £1300, and we would be so grateful if you could sponsor us to help us achieve this goal.

A few examples of where your money will go...

*£5* will pay for a Big Issue vendor's travel to a vital hospital appointment, job interview, housing office meeting.

*£10* will supply an official tabard for a vendor to wear whilst selling the magazine; helping him/her to be easily identifiable to customers. This will increase their sales (and therefore income) as well as helping the police to identify legitimate vendors from illegal beggars.

*£20* will help a Big Issue vendor secure a replacement birth certificate; essential as formal identification for taking vital steps such as opening a bank account, getting a job, securing accommodation or registering with a doctor.

*£50* will help cover a vendor’s course fees in order to train in a new skill. Previously vendors have attended basic skills courses in Literacy, Maths and Computing as well as very specific courses such as fork lift driving, brick laying, food hygiene and journalism.

Thank you very much - your sponsorship will make a big difference, both to our morale as we slog away at our training, and to the lives of the Big Issue vendors that we're doing this for.
