    HRD Summit UKStephen Robertson, The Big Issue Foundation at HRD Summit UK 2020

    Stephen Robertson, The Big Issue Foundation at HRD Summit UK 2020

    Stephen Robertson, CEO, The Big Issue Foundation, discusses the importance of purpose in making a difference, and how The Big Issue is changing lives one newspaper at a time.

    Author Date published February 17, 2020 Categories

    The Big Issue has a 27-year plus history of helping homeless and disadvantaged people to support themselves by buying and selling their magazines with their own cash and keeping the profits. The magazine is an alternative to begging and crime and creates real personal and social change.

    Stephen Robertson, CEO, explores the evolution of this innovative approach to tackling social ills alongside the vital ingredient for change that is provided by the thousands of customers across the United Kingdom on a weekly basis.

    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.
