The Big Issue is a job-creation programme that has organised a vendor sales operation for unemployed, homeless and socially excluded adults. This initiative is backed-up by a social development programme that provides vendor support, including vocational, life and business skills training and guidance counselling. Critical to its job creation function is The Big Issue philosophy that actively encourages and equips vendors to "move on" from the project and into mainstream society.
