How does ‘Everyday Activism’ fit in the modern workplace, and what lessons can be learnt from a world famous ‘social brand’? Watch Stephen Robertson discuss the ways the Big Issue Foundation has tapped into the power of human resilience, drive and compassion to create a movement that changes lives.
