The Big Issue is a social enterprise that publishes a
fortnightly magazine sold on the streets by people experiencing homelessness, marginalisation,
and disadvantage. The magazine is a tool for vendors to earn an income, build confidence, and
connect with the community. Beyond the magazine, The Big Issue also runs other social
enterprises like the
Women's Workforce and
Community Street Soccer Program
to create work opportunities for those in need.
The Cystic Fibrosis Queensland Bookshop
stocks thousands of good-condition, second-hand and pre-loved books at very low prices. As part
of the social fabric in Nundah for many years now, the bookshop is a true community hub.
Proceeds from book sales support the Cystic Fibrosis Queensland Bookshop and to the
Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust.
