Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The Big Issue North is more than a magazine. To the people selling the publication on the streets of Manchester it is a reason to get up in the morning and earn an honest living. 

This year I had the pleasure of meeting the team in Manchester alongside Sir Vince Cable MP, Jane Brophy MEP and Cllr John Leech. We saw how the team make a real difference to the lives of people who had fallen on hard times in our community. 

I can't wait to help raise money for the Big Issue North Trust which helps homeless and vulnerable people in the North of England learn valuable skills and realise new opportunities. Anything you can spare would be much appreciated.
