"Selling the magazine has given me routine. I’ve never really had routine in my life as an adult before. I'm up first thing in the morning to get to the office to buy magazines. It’s instilled in me something like a normal day’s work." Pete, Hull👉 socsi.in/TKtgI

Vendors buy each magazine for £1.25, selling it in all conditions for £2.50 - the same price of a coffee ☕ Which one will you be buying today?
