Big Issue Financial Inclusion Project
In summer 2007, the Big Issue Foundation initiated a financial inclusion project to help Big Issue sellers to manage their money effectively. The project recognises the difficulties that those who are homeless face in accessing financial services and managing money on low and irregular incomes.
We at Credit Action are delighted to be one of three partners working with the Big Issue to deliver these services to their vendors.
The project seeks to address issues of financial literacy and exclusion and, through it, vendors will be able to access a range of financial support including opening a bank account and dealing with debts.
In the Credit Action sessions, they will receive assistance in creating a personal budget and identifying and working towards saving goals.
