Description:

Today, we speak to Lord John Bird, the co-founder of the Big Issue magazine and anti-poverty campaigner.

Lord Bird was born into poverty and spent time rough sleeping before starting the Big Issue in 1991. In 2015 he was appointed a crossbench People’s Peer.

Adam talks to Lord Bird about growing up in poverty, the impact prison had on his life and how the Big Issue continues to support people who are vulnerably housed and homeless.
