About BigIssueSouthwest.co.uk
• Founded in London in 1991 by Gordon Roddick and John Bird with start-up funding from the Body Shop Foundation, The Big Issue is one of the great publishing successes of recent years. The Big Issue South West published its first edition in November 1993 after being invited into the region by the town centre managers of Bath who wished to combat a growing begging problem.
