💬 "I do it because I love the feeling of community. Whenever people come past me, everyone’s always happy and enjoying themselves. I put the music on to see people’s smiles, not for myself." Since becoming homeless in December, Sean, with the support of the Big Issue team, has found the guidance he needed to move forward 🤝. He recently moved into a privately rented place with a live-in landlord. "They’ve helped set me up with the right support I didn’t even know I could get. It’s helped push me forward. Even for everyday advice, the Big Issue team is the first port of call for me - I feel proud of myself now and I am pushing myself every day. Nobody else is going to push me."
