I am not a great public supporter of charitable causes as it is a very personal and private matter
HOWEVER.
I buy The Big Issue from a street vendor just outside Waterloo station every so often (he normally has exit 6 but it is shut during construction ). Its £2.50 but I always give £5.00 and do not take the change. Today he gave me a Christmas card, signed Robert with the magazine. Lovely of him and shows they feel the cold as much as anyone else, as much as the warmth of a smile. And certainly will see me support him through next year again.
Their motto is “A hand up not a hand out”
Support a seller before Christmas if you can afford it.
For the price of an overpriced milky coffee we can make a difference IN THEIR LIVES.
I know this is an international forum, so if nothing else, be kind, share a smile or say hello.
