The #WEARABIGISSUE campaign seeks to inspire an army of activists to drive key issues in the public consciousness, led by prominent cultural figures.

Ralph Steadman is a prolific artist who in his 60 year career has produced thousands of groundbreaking and influential artworks.

The Ascent of Man and Woman is a thought-provoking piece, designed exclusively for The Big Issue and conveys the unending and unresolved issue of homelessness.

“I thought I would change the world - and in fact, all these years later, I have changed the world. It’s worse than it was when I started. There are so many different people trying to help the homeless, but as they help those homeless, more and more homeless come along.” Ralph Steadman

This is a Limited Edition artwork printed on an EarthPositive® T-shirt manufactured solely using sustainable energy generated from wind and solar power.

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.
