Funding Focus
This funding will be used to support the holistic front-line work with Big Issue vendors, with a focus on work-related aspirations.
More specifically the grant will cover the cost of a team leader, who as well as the provision of holistic support, does a significant amount of work in the area of brokering training, volunteering and work opportunities for Big Issue vendors.
Part of the funding will also be used to sponsor a national 'work aspirations' week. A key aspect of this week will be a dedicated consultation with vendors to assess their needs and whether different types of support can be made available to them.
