Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Silver Street, Boston "BIG ISSUE", greets you everytime you walk down Silver Street to Pescod Square. I swear if you walked down a dozen times and bought one every time, you still wouldn't get recognised.
"The Big Issue was founded in 1991 by A. John Bird and Gordon Roddick as a response to the huge numbers sleeping rough in London. The inspiration for the magazine came from Street News, a newspaper sold by homeless people in New York, which Gordon Roddick of The Body Shop saw on a visit to the States. With the assistance of The Body Shop International, Roddick and A. John Bird launched The Big Issue in September 1991, initially as a monthly publication in London. In June 1993, The Big Issue went weekly and regional editions of the magazine were soon established in Scotland (bigissuescotland.com), Wales (bigissuecymru.co.uk), the North of England (bigissueinthenorth.com) and the South West (bigissuesouthwest.co.uk). Collectively the five regional editions cover the whole of the UK. The large building opposite is the Post Office. |
