"December is always a good month for sales but January is always horrendous. No one has any money and you don’t see all the usual regulars. But I still turn up and sell, six days a week, without fail." Ian, Wetherby, West Yorkshire.

In the months following from Christmas, vendors sell 76% less magazines than they would the week before, yet the harsh weather conditions remain the same.

After speaking to vendors to gain a deeper understanding of what it's like to sell the magazine in the months after Christmas, we took on board their feedback and decided to create this campaign. 

This campaign, #HereAllYear, is in place to raise the awareness of the presence of Big Issue North vendors, whilst raising funds for Big Issue North Trust, which supports vendors in a crisis.
