The fantastic folks over @virginmedia are supporting @BigIssue this Christmas! As part of this, they have handed over the reigns of their social channels to give a platform for Big Issue vendors to share their stories. Head over to their page to see more! 🎄
Selling the @BigIssue is tough, but 2020 often made it literally impossible. With the streets a lot quieter this year, let’s not forget about the people who rely on us passing by. virg.in/RtP #RememberBigIssue 👇 Open the thread for stories from Big Issue vendors
