The Pavement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pavement is the free monthly news-magazine for the homeless. Founded in London, United Kingdom in April 2005 it has grown from an A4 news sheet to a pocket-sized full-colour news-magazine, currently distributing 3,000 copies a month to over 35 stockists across London.

A registered charity in the UK (No. 1110656), it was founded to fill a gap in covering news from the street, and news affecting the street. Using volunteer writers and donated work from some of the best cartoonists in the country, its unique mix of news, features and advice columns have made it a success with rough sleepers and those in temporary accommodation.

Its website www.thepavement.org.uk has a pdf archive of back-issues, and downloads of one of the magazines key features; The List - a constantly updated list of services available for readers, from soup runs to libraries.
