Every year we invite entries from 13 years old and under, from all across Britain, to create the Festive Special cover. It’s a big competition for a very special edition. And every year our socks are knocked off by the range and the quality and the imagination. This year, we were joined by Radio 1’s Greg James to help with the fiendish task of picking a winner.

We settled on the simple, glorious, affecting collage snowman by Fergus Rutherford-Moyler, a 10 year from Glasgow. His collage was created using old editions of the magazine. Congratulations Fergus!

Also inside:
- Christmas for Ukrainians in Britain: How a couple in Cirencester are opening their homes and hearts to a family fleeing war in their homelands
- The Muppet Christmas Carol: It’s the 30th anniversary of a much-loved classic. We speak to the director and stars
- Kids Books of the year: We pick the best of the best, for all ages. It is an essential gifting help!
- A day in the life of our vendor: What’s it really like? Frank McGucken, who works outside Tiffany’s on Sloane Square, lifts the lid
Plus much more!

The Big Issue

The Big Issue's own-brand products support the creation of a range of work-based opportunities for disadvantaged people.
Big Issue has spent over 30 years at the helm of self-help revolution. It all began with the launch of The Big Issue magazine in 1991, which was created to offer homeless and disadvantaged people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income by selling a magazine on the streets. Since then over 200 million copies magazine have been sold by over 100,000 people. Vendors buy the magazine upfront for £1.75 and sell it on to the public for £4.00, and in doing so each runs their own micro-enterprise. In 2005 Big Issue Invest was launched, with the aim of extending The Big Issue's mission by financing the growth of social enterprises and charities across the UK. To date the organisation has directly invested in over 350 such organisations, and manages or advises on more than £170 million of social funds.
