the 9th may is the big issue do a favour day

The Big Issue is kicking off its first Do a Favour Day next Friday in Brisbane. They are holding a free breakfast in Queen’s Park, George Street from 7am.

Participation involves doing someone else a favour next Friday. Suggestions include:

• Buying a wristband from The Big Issue Vendors (now on sale – $4);
• Buying The Big Issue (if you don’t normally);
• Organising a morning tea at work with gold coin donations to The Big Issue;
• Opening the door for someone;
• Making your partner breakfast in bed;
• Paying for the car behind you at the toll booth;
• Doing the washing up even if it’s not your turn;
• Catching up with an old friend; and
• Calling your parents.

You can also do The Big Issue a favour by making a (tax-deductible) donation to:

The Big Issue Brisbane
Brisbane Homelessness Service Centre
62 Peel Street, South Brisbane, QLD 4101

This is what I am going to do.
