The Big Sell 2022: supporting The Big Issue’s hardworking vendors

Photo journal

This year our Managing Director, Damien Walsh, is once again taking part in The Big Sell on Thursday 31 March. In the two week lead-up from 18 March, Bank Australia is sharing and supporting this important initiative to assist people experiencing homelessness.

Our partnership with The Big Issue is part of the bank’s purpose to create a positive impact for people in our society. The Big Issue works across Australia to create job opportunities for people experiencing homelessness, marginalisation and disadvantage, through its independent magazine.

Over the last two years The Big Issue vendors have had it tough. Lockdowns and decreasing foot traffic have significantly impacted their ability to sell magazines and earn a meaningful income. To help, we're contributing funds in March to keep helping vendors help themselves, and to make sure they can continue to earn an income and improve their lives.

If you’d like to join us in supporting The Big Sell 2022, you can do so on our The Big Sell profile page.
