Anita Roddick also supported one of her husband's projects. In 1991, Gordon Roddick launched a magazine to help homeless people in London. Its name is The Big Issue (大志杂志), and only homeless people can sell it. To become vendors, they have to receive training. They can use the money they earn to make a fresh start.

 

安妮塔.罗迪克也支持她丈夫的其中一项计划。1991年,葛登.罗迪克发行了一本杂志来帮助伦敦市里无家可归的人们-它的名字是《大志杂志》,而且只有街友们才可以贩卖。要成为贩卖员,街友们必须接受职前训练,而他们可以用所赚得的钱展开新生活。

 

Sometimes, selling The Big Issue is the only job a homeless person can get. In this way, the magazine, like The Body Shop Foundation, helps to give people a chance to live a better life.
