Big Issue UK's got an eye on any company leaving people high and dry


The UK street paper has launched a new column Eye On You to help out the readers who have issues with any company or organisation.

Perhaps your local council has dug up your local playing field. Maybe the government has cut your benefits or some shady business has run off with your money. Whatever it is, tell The Big Issue UK and they will investigate it for you.

For example, their first piece exposed the unfolding scandal involving ATOS, a French company currently testing disabled people’s ability to work. Fail the test and your benefits are cut. Too many people were being unfairly declared fit to work and so we stepped in to keep our eye on ATOS.

So if you have something you want The Big Issue UK to investigate, write to jasper.hamill@bigissue.com

They will do their best to help you out!
