The Big Issue in Australia Ltd
The Big Issue in Australia is a not-for-profit organisation and social enterprise that empowers homeless and marginalised people to make positive changes in their lives. We help people help themselves by using different mechanisms to connect people with the community, such as the Street Magazine Enterprise (giving vendors an opportunity to sell The Big Issue magazine, earn an income and participate more fully in mainstream society), the Street Soccer Program (a national initiative using the positive power of sport to change lives), or through the on-going support of vendor services. The Big Issue also runs an Education Program, educating students about homelessness and encouraging tolerance and understanding towards all members of the community. The Big Issue doors are open to anyone and everyone that needs a hand including people who have experienced homelessness (either currently or in the past), unemployment, substance abuse, disability, mental illness or be marginalised in some way
