The purpose of the annual list is to recognize and praise remarkable activists, agitators and ordinary figures influenced by society nominated by the readers of the magazine.
The list includes those who have collected millions for charity, supported people who live in extreme poverty and have fought for changes to the law.
Included lawyer Christian Weaver, who represented the Avaab Ishak family during an investigation that changed the home at national level, and Ruth Jones, who, as well as her role in Gavin & Stacey, supported the Tai Haffan Business Hospital based on her Alter’s home Ego Nessa on Barry Island.
Stephen Freen-the wizard, known as Dynamo-nominated 11-year-old Travis Robinson from his hometown of Bradford, who was inspired by interaction with a local homeless man to sell his toys to finance the launch of a new food bank.
Other creators of changes include Maya Amanngeldieva, who continued to manage the food bank in Hern Bay after attacking and arson attempt; Blue Spirit Sail, which takes young people who experience mental health problems into northeast sailing; Aneisha Minoche, the inventor who seeks to decarbonate buildings around the world; and Fair Shot FC refugee football team.
Paul McNami, editor of Big Issue, said: “Against the backdrop of a more insane, more divided world, the people who change Big Issue in 2025 stand out with their selfless pursuit of justice and kindness to others.
He said: “This year’s list includes lawyers, inventors, entrepreneurs, football players, sailors, singers, public leaders – from Changemakers, who have changed the United Kingdom’s legislation to Changemakers who have changed things in their street corner.
“We even celebrate our youngest Changemaker in the face of the 11-year-old miracle Travis, who comes quite properly from this year’s city of culture of the United Kingdom, Bradford.
“Our partner Citroen generously donated an electric van that will allow one of our most impressive figures of change-Matthew’s house in Swansea-to make even more change in his community.”
The list is included in the latest Big Issue edition, which has been on sale since Monday.
