Let's make 2019 a year of thinking, creating and agitating
Every week in The Big Issue, we shine a light on fascinating and inspirational people who are changing the world for the better on our Changemakers page.
It's become clear that given the volume of these thinkers, creators and agitators, people who are not sitting by but who are grabbing challenges and trying to deal with them, we needed more space.
We decided to devote an entire edition to Changemakers. We've selected 100 Changemakers who we believe will change things in 2019.
There are campaigners and campaigns, people working in tech and in business, in music and the arts, in literacy, sport and in charities and social policy. Our list is made up a lot of the people who you wouldn’t normally hear about, plus a number who you do.
Across art, tech, literacy, journalism, housing and more, this special edition runs down our top 100 changemakers in 2019.
We hope you're inspired. Happy New Year.

6 年Integrating with local people - the Experts by Experience - will be the ONLY partnership that will ensure that viable policy is achieved and positives outcomes help to reduce mental Health, build relevant "care" facilities for who desperately need it, and to develop the Social Mobility transitional support that remains a desperate lever to pull in the lives of so many. Is any of the above part of the Thinking and Creating process?
