This led to the final sum of £55,000 to be donated. The founder of this charity, Lord John Bird, came along to receive the donation and gave a speech on how their journey started and the impact this money will have on the charity.

"We were absolutely delighted to receive such a generous gift from Bericote towards the transformational work of The Big Issue Foundation. The donation will be used to support our front-line delivery; to empower Big Issue vendors across the UK to reach their aspirations for the future, be it securing a safe place to live, tackling addictions, reconnecting with loved ones or embarking on training and development opportunities."
