In this special episode of Hand Baggage Only, host Suzette Shahmoon speaks exclusively to Lord Bird, Founder of the Big Issue, about how friendship is affected by homelessness.
We get to hear about Lord Bird's own experience of homelessness, how he spent time as a child in an orphanage, then a detention center, and eventually prison and how it affected him socially.
He tells us what led him to launch the Big Issue and how it supports homeless people though the creation of a community, which, as Suzette describes, is a place of belonging where they are able to excel as human beings.
