VENDORS
Across the country vendors
are prevented from working
on their pitches by the
national lockdown. Our staff is
working closely with each vendor to
make sure there is extra support to
make up for lost earnings. We also
understand that apart from reduced
income, the lack of social interaction
will cause a lot of distress. If you
would like to pass a message on to
your local vendor please email
[email protected] and we’ll do
our best to make sure they know they
still have your support.SUBSCRIPTIONS
AND SHOPS
Since the first national
lockdown in March, we have
supported our vendors with more
than £1m of financial assistance to
make up for lost sales. As the only
certainty is more uncertainty, we
urgently need your help to make sure
we can continue to do that.- If your local vendor is selling
The Big Issue, please buy from them. - Subscriptions are available on
a three, six or 12-month basis.
Visit subs.bigissue.com. Digital
subscriptions can be purchased
via The Big Issue UK app. - Co-op and Sainsbury’s are
also stocking The Big Issue in
many branches.
Every copy bought, whether via a
subscription, a shop or through our
app, makes a difference.Your views on the big issues

I read with interest the ‘Locked down
but not out: good people making
things better’ feature by Hannah
Westwater [February 15].
Dr Sheila Glasbey proposed a
scheme where people who have
received the vaccine can pay it
forward by making a donation to
ensure someone worse off elsewhere
in the world would get a dose.
I HAD to send you information
about the Liverpool School of
Tropical Medicine’s #BumpItForward
campaign. I hope this is helpful.
Nicola Johnson, NewburyInaccurate count
If, as appears to be the case, the
government intends to go ahead
with the census on Sunday March
21 how are they going to count the
homeless and rough sleepers? Surely
it is important that those members
of our society who find themselves in
this situation should be recognised?
John and Jane Petchell, NottinghamPlease pass on my message to Florin who was at the
John Lewis store entrance across from the Buchanan
bus station in Glasgow. I know that I have not seen
you for some time Florin, as I have moved away from
Glasgow and now live in the South of Scotland. I did
always make a point of looking to see if you were
around during any of my visits back to Glasgow when
I was meeting my friends. I loved your happy smiling
face no matter how miserable a day it was. You
certainly lightened and brightened up a person’s day!!
I was delighted to see that I could take out a
subscription and support a vendor. Well it just had to
be you Florin!! I do hope that once life gets back to
‘normal’ that I’ll be able to see you again during one
of my Glasgow visits, but I am very happy to have a
subscription. I wish you and your wife all the best and
I hope that you are well. Take good care and stay safe.
Evelyn WrightTo Cassandra who sells in Prince Edward Road, South
Shields: Last time I saw you, you were pregnant. You
will now have your new baby and I hope you and your
family are well. With love and best wishes for the
future. SheilaWANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR
