Homelessness and rough sleeping is on the increase. The recession continues to threaten the livelihoods and future prospects of far too many people. We work with the most disadvantaged and excluded individuals in the land; people who have lost more than it is comfortable to imagine: their homes, their families and their sense of themselves in the world.

Despite these grim facts, the theme of this newsletter is about the hope that springs from participation. Taking part in something is being part of something. This message comes through to us again and again. Our vendors work right in the heart of the community; The Big Issue is their business. For us ‘inclusion’ extends way beyond pure magazine sales, as you will see from the articles in this newsletter.

Our vendors are passionate about giving something back themselves. This newsletter profiles a vendor who is providing translation services for foreign vendors, it showcases photography, poetry, a cartoon and vendor Dean, whose commitment to raise funds for the very services that are helping him is truly awe-inspiring.

We share news from our work around the country and the terrific support that we have had from some corporate colleagues to help dispel some of the prejudices associated with homeless people.

And if you’d like to find out more about The Truth About Stanley, turn to p8.

Just under 100 individuals a week approach us at a time of utter crisis. The demand has never been greater. It is my hope that you will be inspired by these articles, share them with family and friends, and join our 2012 facebook campaign to gain 2012 ‘likes’. Our work relies on your support. Please help spread the word and share our passion.

Thank you,

The Big Issue Foundation Chief Executive

The Big Issue Foundation is dedicated to the wellbeing of Big Issue vendors and we work with over 2500 individuals across the UK. Our skilled Service Brokers work one-to-one with vendors, creating bespoke life action plans with a core self-help ethos, to tackle issues ranging from health and accommodation through to money management and aspirations. The Big Issue Foundation is about taking control, moving forward, gaining independence and rebuilding lives. We exist to enable vendors to continue their journey away from homelessness towards social and financial inclusion.

Vendor Ioan

“I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS, SO I’M GLAD I CAN HELP”

I

oan is a Bath vendor, originally from Romania. He’s helping the Bath office translate some of their sales training literature into basic Romanian, which is mutually intelligible with the Romani language spoken by many Eastern European vendors.

Although not one of the Romani himself, he understands the precariousness of their itinerant lifestyle: he has lived in various parts of Europe, speaking eight languages to various extents.

Ioan is applying for British citizenship, and would ultimately like to settle and find formal work here, but at the moment is legally only allowed to sell The Big Issue. “This is my job for the moment… I’ve been doing it for about five years.”

“I am very happy to help where I can. [Translation is] a little difficult because languages are hard,” he continues.

“Romanian is a Latin language, and English is very hard – the grammar, the alphabet, and the pronunciation are all different…

It’s a nice language – many people hope to speak it, but it takes

a long time to learn.”

Originally from Asia, the Romani spread throughout Europe, sometimes travelling, sometimes settling, and often facing prejudice and segregation. Different states have tried to integrate them in different ways, while some have instituted voluntary repatriation schemes, essentially paying them to leave. “It’s different from a nationality; they never have a place, never have a country.”

“In France, Spain and Italy you can see their culture, and they live by their own rules,” Ioan says. He believes that it’s better to try to integrate them, rather than leave them to this semi-autonomous, marginalised existence. “They can change their minds, because they have never had opportunities or good things, from generation to generation. They have an embarrassed mentality.”

“It’s a good thing [The Big Issue] are doing these translations, because the Romani can have trouble understanding English – it’s easier for them to understand Romanian. This is good for everyone, and I’m enjoying it. It’s very nice to do something like this because it helps me to learn more about English. It’s very helpful for me as well, including with my application for citizenship.”

GOING GREEN….

The Big Issue Foundation is taking green steps to help the environment. This paper is environmentally friendly…the ink is soy based. The Brighton office uses Greenmop which is an eco cleaning company. Their recycling is done by Magpie which is a cooperative. It runs a recycling furniture warehouse called Shabitat we use to get cheap furniture for vendors. In the London office we are working hard to reduce overall paper consumption – our target is to reduce it by 20 per cent.

JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION / p4 / SPRING 2012

This year, London vendor Dean Porter will be joining The Big Issue Foundation’s London to Paris Bike Ride Team – cycling 230 miles from London to Paris in just three days; a remarkable challenge for anyone! Dean shares his motivation for taking part in the ride:

My name is Dean Porter and I sell The Big Issue magazine by Sainsbury’s in Chelsea Harbour, London. I have been selling The Big Issue for around five years now and have lived on the streets, in parks, in hostels and in temporary accommodation.

Getting ‘badged up’ to sell the magazine was a turning point in my life; it was the moment that I could start to take control of my own life again. Last year, with the support of The Big Issue Foundation, I took (and passed!) my CBT training – which will hopefully help me to get a bike delivery job over the coming months.

I saved up and bought myself a second-hand bike and am hoping it will see me the 230 miles from London to Paris in July this year. I have always been a keen cyclist and I have started training for the ride – I want to prove to myself that I can do it.

There have been some very tough times along the way, but I really feel now that I have turned a corner.

I’m really excited about being able to give something back to The Big Issue Foundation by taking part in the London to Paris Bike Ride - this is my way of saying thank you to the Foundation for its support.

The London to Paris Bike Ride takes place from 19-22 July 2012. If you would like to join Dean and our cycling team on the ride, please visit www.bigissue.org.uk/ london2paris or support Dean in his fundraising by donating £5 – simply text HYQN81 to 70070. Money will be securely donated via Text Just Giving.

This year we are asking people to join us on one of our walks, runs, cycles, sleep outs or even to hold their own event in support of The Big Issue Foundation. It doesn’t matter what you do – it’s the small steps that lead to big changes. Visit www.bigissue.org.uk/events to see a full range of events that you can get involved in.l

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A BIG ISSUE F O U N D AT I O N WORKER B Y T O M WA R D

THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION / p6 / SPRING 2012

“EVERY

DAY IS D I F F E R E N T, I T ' S ONE REASON ” I LOVE THE JOB… MONDAY

Preparing my ‘to do’ list for the week in our Bristol office is interrupted by vendor Paul asking if I have time to talk to him. His health is deteriorating and he needs to see a doctor. I check out the schedule of GPs available through Bristol’s homeless health service and advise he can access a GP this afternoon at a local homeless centre. Another vendor wants some advice about a letter he’s received from a debt recovery company. It seems like a debt from nearly 10 years ago has caught up with him. Mike has been off the streets for a couple of years but we continue to offer support and advice for as long as he needs it. I make an appointment with a local debt advice centre and once he opens a case with them it’ll buy him time while they help him evaluate his situation.

TUESDAY This morning I have a meeting with a vocational education provider to discuss vendors taking NVQ Level 2 qualifications in Customer Service. It's something we’ve done very successfully before but had to stop as funding dried up. It looks like we can start them up again with a different provider, which is fantastic news. It allows vendors to formalise all the skills they utilise in their working day and gain a nationally recognised qualification.

WEDNESDAY We have a significant number of Polish vendors in Bristol with English skills that range from excellent to very basic. We have a Polish volunteer every Wednesday morning interpreting for us and vendors know they can call into the office for help and advice. Today we advise on debt, benefit entitlement, housing providers and obtaining a replacement passport and ID card. In the afternoon we run English lessons with the help of an ESOL teaching volunteer. Learning English is absolutely key to employability and the ability to integrate into UK society so in addition to referring vendors to English lessons with external providers we do offer access to learning here at the Big Issue office.

THURSDAY A new vendor has an appointment for an induction. Part of the process is an assessment of their current situation and needs. The priority for Dave is to meet with Bristol’s rough sleeping outreach team and see a GP to explore the support available for his longstanding problems with alcohol. We make appointments and I print a map and directions. I’ll try and keep in close contact with him over the coming days to check his progress and offer help if required.

FRIDAY Friday mornings we have a regular drop-in with a worker from a local mental health and wellbeing service. It’s very informal and more about building relationships than a hard sell of services. It provides ready access to clinical psychologists, peer support groups, courses on emotional awareness and coping strategies, plus alternative therapies and relaxation exercises.l

THE WILL O THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION / p8 / SPRING 2012

T

here are few short films whose release is graced by the presence of royalty. At the premiere of The Truth About Stanley, HRH Princess Michael of Kent (see picture on page 12) joined a host of stars including comedian Miles Jupp and BBC Today Programme journalist Simon Jack for a special screening of the short film followed by a Q&A with the cast and director Lucy Tcherniak.

Described by one critic as the ‘21st Century Cathy Come Home’, Tcherniak co-wrote The Truth About Stanley with writer Neil Westley to depict real depth of character to those who find themselves homeless. Starring acclaimed Kenyan actor Oliver Litondo, 12-year-old Raif Clarke and Andrew Lee Potts from ITV’s Primeval, The Truth About Stanley centres on the friendship between an unlikely pairing, a young boy and an elderly Congolese man, who meet on the streets of London. The f ilm pur posef ully leaves the audience asking questions: why is the boy homeless and what is the truth about Stanley?

Oliver Litondo, who had travelled all the way from Kenya to make the premiere, stressed that the issues raised by The Truth About Stanley would resonate all over the world, “Homelessness is a global problem. In Kenya, we have many street sleepers who sometimes grow up on the street and have families on the street. Is Stanley a refugee?

Why does he think moving to England to sleep on the streets of London would be better than staying in the Congo? I hope that the film prompts more people to look into these questions.”

Big Issue founder John Bird, who brought toget her bot h h i s per son a l ex per ienc es of homelessness and an awareness of how approaches to tackle the problem have changed over twenty years of running The Big Issue, referred to the storyline regarding Sam’s father and urged those present to think about the long-term damage caused by lack of constructive support to those in social housing.

The Truth About Stanley was generously funded by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and backed by Oscar-winning production company Trademark films, with almost all involved giving their time or expertise for free - including soundtrack songs by Radiohead and Mumford and Sons! Homelessness charities The Big Issue Foundation and Anchor House were extremely happy to be asked as beneficiary partners with the online film helping to raise funds supporting their ongoing work.

‘This landmark film comes at a time of heightening crisis in homelessness,’ said Big Issue Foundation Chief Executive Stephen Robertson.

‘The demand on our services has never been greater. It is our hope that this alternative view of the Olympics city will prompt the public to think differently about homeless and vulnerably housed people and stimulate viewers to join us to raise vitally needed funds for our services on one of our many 2012 events.’ Joel Hodgson then addressed the audience and shared his inspiring journey on escaping homelessness. You can read more about Joel on page 11.l The film has now been released and is free to watch: www.bigissue.org.uk

A VIEW FROM THE STREET TRAINEE SOLICITORS GET A TASTE OF SELLING THE BIG ISSUE MAGAZINE

T

rainee solicitors from law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer took part in our most recent Volunteer Days in February this year to help raise awareness of The Big Issue Foundation’s work and to challenge some of the preconceptions around homelessness.

The trainees were teamed up with vendors from the Liverpool Street area of London and spent three hours selling with their vendor at their pitch.

Graduate recruitment partner Simon Johnson said, “These Volunteer Days have challenged the trainees’ perceptions about the people who sell the magazine as they build a rapport with the vendor

and gain an understanding about The Big Issue. Being put in someone else’s shoes really brings the trainees out of their comfort zone.”

The Big Issue Foundation has been running these days with our key corporate supporters since 2010. Volunteers learn about the obstacles our vendors face and gain insight into just how easy it is to become homeless or to be at risk of homelessness; it could happen to anyone. Volunteers also discover how The Big Issue model enables socially excluded people to earn a legitimate income. l If you would like to learn more about how our Volunteer Days are run, please call Moira on 020 7526 3459.

SIMON CALLOW IN A CHRISTMAS CAROL As we celebrate Charles Dickens’ 200th ‘birthday’ this year, Simon Callow gives us a timely reminder of the power of social commentary

I UPDATE

JOEL HODGSON

In our Autumn 2011 Newsletter we reported on the progress of former vendor Joel Hodgson, who had embarked on a special new placement programme whereby corporate partners such as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP and Simmons and Simmons LLP offer 6 month placements for Big Issue vendors to sell the magazine within their offices on a one-day-a-week basis. They also provide much needed training and work experience opportunities for vendors.

Joel attended Freshfields and was soon gaining work experience and some training.

He eventually saw a job advertised that he felt able to apply for. After an anxious wait he learned he had been successful and started work as a Billings Assistant.

We have just learned that he recently passed his six-month probationary period and is progressing nicely in fulltime employment.

Our congratulations go to Joel for a job well done, and to Freshfields for giving him the chance to show his skills.l

t’s a tale of poverty and transformation and one that played to a packed-out theatre in London’s West End over Christmas. But for one night only, Simon Callow’s moving one-man rendition of Charles Dickens' classic tale A Christmas Carol helped raise funds for a vital service for Big Issue vendors.

In January, a crowd of around 300 Big Issue Foundation supporters, vendors, and members of the public descended on London’s Arts Theatre where Callow masterfully brought to life the Victorian novella at a special show in aid of The Big Issue.

After the performance our wonderful vendor Viv went on stage and shared her story. As well as selling The Big Issue Viv also works for Unseen Tours, a pilot scheme helping homeless people to find sustainable work as tour guides on the streets where they once lived.

Viv is an expert on London and Dickens, and she shared her knowledge with the audience on the night.

Following the event, Callow, who is Honorary Patron of The Big Issue Foundation, said, “There’s a logical link between The Big Issue and Dickens. A Christmas Carol is all about inequity in society. In these times of economic woe the story reminds us that disadvantage is not just something we should think about at Christmas, but the whole year through.”

The evening was staged free of charge and all proceeds from the night will go towards training vendors on the capital’s streets.

Callow’s relationship with The Big Issue began in 2009. Since then he has opened Hard Times, an exhibition of portraits of homeless people captured by photographer Paul Wenham Clarke.

Last year he recorded an audio version of a book written by Big Issue founder and Editor-in-Chief John Bird, called Dickens – The Socially Mobile Cat. “The Big Issue is all about self respect and a sense of connection. It reminds us we must fight against poverty and continue to help people who feel excluded,” Callow added.

Speaking at the event, John Bird said: “The Big Issue started 20 years ago when homeless people were doing the opposite of making their own money. It was unique and it works because it provides a wonderful interface between the public and our vendors.” l Dickens – The Socially Mobile Cat CD is available from The Big Issue at £11 (including P&P). All profits go to help The Big Issue Foundation. To buy a copy call 020 7526 3200.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY BRIGHTON FINDING WORK

There has been great success with employment activities in the Brighton office. Six vendors have attended CV workshops to draft new CVs. Out of those six, one vendor has found fulltime work in a factory and another is working fulltime at a hotel. Another vendor from the workshop is now doing voluntary work with a local training project. Several other vendors have either started or are in the process of volunteering in local community projects whilst a few vendors attended a recent jobs fare to chat to local businesses and find out information on job applications, qualifications and training.

BATH WORKING FOR A QUALIFICATION During Aspirations Week last year a representative of Bath College came in to talk to the vendors about courses available at the college, in particular to tell them about the NVQ in sales and customer service. This NVQ allows vendors to show their sales skills and for these skills to be recognised. The vendors have a whole year to complete the NVQ and they usually meet with the college representative every two to three weeks. Funding for the NVQ is covered by Bath College who have built up a great relationship with The Big Issue.

Currently there is one vendor who has completed the qualification, seven who are doing it and a few more hoping to start soon. Whilst completing the NVQ, the vendors are observed on their pitch and also have one-to-one sessions with the college representative. It has been a great opportunity for them to earn a qualification whilst working on their pitch.

OXFORD IN THE COMMUNITY Some Oxford vendors who do not speak English as a first language – and some who do – have accessed support to write letters, emails, produce CVs and apply for jobs either directly or through recruitment agencies.

Oxford have also run joint outreaches with local college representatives, health services and addiction workers to increase vendor awareness of available services; some vendors are planning to take up courses as a result.

We are currently working on improving vendor communication with the police; through drop-ins and outreaches, we hope that our vendors will communicate their concerns more and be safer as a result.

BRISTOL TBI BEHIND BARS Rachel and Tom from the TBI team visited Bristol Prison in January to raise awareness amongst prisoners due for release. Becoming a Big Issue vendor provides former inmates a way to earn a living, access support services, and make a fresh start.

LONDON FUNDING A POSITION The London fundraising team have made a massive effort to raise funds for another post. Through a successful event hosted by Simon Callow (see p11) London can now look forward to an additional post to support the London service broker team.

BOURNEMOUTH POLICE WORK There is now a weekly drop in from Dorset Police every Friday morning in the office. The first time it happened the office cleared, but it has now reached the point where vendors can discuss any concerns or problems they have been having. This helps break down the barriers between the police and our vendors.

SOUTHAMPTON GOOD PARTNERING We now have an active and well-run agency in Winchester operating from Trinity day centre who sell magazines on our behalf. Staff oversee and manage it and visit once a week, it is a great partnership working well.

" VENDING IN A SAFE AND WELCOMING OFFICE ENVIRONMENT CAN BUILD CONFIDENCE, IMPROVE WELLBEING AND CREATE IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS"

THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION / p12 / SPRING 2012

BIRMINGHAM PITCH PERFECT Relationships with corporate businesses at The Big Issue are valuable and important for our vendors. Clive, a vendor from Birmingham, has been vending at Signet in their offices – this has given Clive the experience of vending in a safe and welcoming office environment, enabling him to build confidence, improve his wellbeing and make important relationships in a professional setting. Clive is looking to move on from street sales, hoping vending at Signet will be a good stepping stone for him.

Clive is 42 and has been working as a Big Issue vendor for about 10 years. His story, however, is best told in his own words. After brushing up his English skills, Clive has written this poem…

PUT YOURSELF IN A VENDOR’S SHOE

By Clive Edward Thompson

Some of us come from a horrible background, If I told you some of the stories it would bound to astound.

Some of us grew up without mothers and fathers, Some can’t be found.

Put yourself in a vendor’s shoe, Have a look around.

I’d love to be like you, I’d love to be normal, However you define normal, it sounds a bit informal.

People every day try to put me down, But I choose not to wear a frown.

I don’t look at life through rose tinted glasses, I’m not in denial, I would rather just give you a smile.

I thank the customers that help me out, God will bless you without a doubt.

I hope my customer service has been good.

I pride myself on honesty and courtesy, If I can I’d rather avoid adversity.

My ambition is to be a pastor, So your money that you’ve invested hasn’t been a total disaster.

I make mistakes, I didn’t go to school, However I have knowledge, understanding and wisdom, My mother didn’t raise no fool!

I have motivation and drive, I know I’m going to make it, I have dignity and trust myself, don’t need to fake it.

I’ve been on the streets on and off for between thirteen to fourteen years, Some of them days ended in tears.

I believe the only person that can stop me from making it is me, But I believe in myself, when God made me He made a winner you’ll see.

Even though some people out there want to put me down, I will wear the victor’s crown.

I’m a kind, gentle, generous and soft-hearted person, I’m after peace, not aversion.

I come in peace, not to harm, not to hurt, All I’m interested in is my heart’s desires, not to dish the dirt.

So put yourself in a vendor’s shoe, My name is Clive, I’m a member of The Big Issue.

HE DREAMS…

…He is at home, his kids playing…his wife is in the kitchen making soup for them… now she will come to the dining room and he will hold her in his arms and he will tell her how much he loves her, his wife, the mother of his children. He didn’t tell her that for a long time, but today he will tell her that because he feels so…

“Please don’t wake him up, let him have that wonderful dream… but when he does wake up, please show him a little bit of kindness, a little bit of humanity, a little bit of compassion…”
