How well do you know your #BigIssue vendor? I've met 3 extraordinary vendors & heard their stories. Tonight meet Ann on @itvwestcountry 6pm ITV1. Thank you Ann for being so open, honest & brave speaking with me. Thanks @BigIssue @PauldMcNamee for working with me @johnbirdswords
Meet @BigIssue vendor Ann 👋🏼
Ann sells in Exeter on St Martin’s Lane and last night her story featured on @itvwestcountry. Whilst not all @BigIssue vendors are homeless, many are facing financial crisis and we’re here to offer a hand up to those who need us. #SupportYourVendor
Waiting for Universal Credit nearly left Ann Warke homeless.
She started selling @thebigissue after losing her job and waited nearly two months for payments to begin.
