Welcome the festive season with The Big Issue! This edition is a celebration of our vendors by our vendors, who have penned their reflections on a difficult year, hopes for the future and thanks to the people who matter most in our annual Big Wish Yous. It’s an edition full of heart, humour and hope. All with Sydney vendor Dave S on the cover – complete with Santa hat and a brilliant smile.
I’m excited,” he says about finally making his cover debut after selling The Big Issue for almost 25 years. “I’m going to say 2020 never happened… It’s been a crap year. It was hard. But I think in the new year it’s going to come better. You know, new start, new year.”
