Big Issue publishes its list of top ‘changemakers’ The Big Issue has published a list of its so-called top 100 “changemakers”, including an 11-year-old boy and Gavin and Stacey’s Ruth Jones.
It includes barrister Christian Weaver who represented the family of Awaab Ishak during the inquest that changed housing nationally and Ruth Jones, who as well as her role in Gavin & Stacey, championed children’s hospice Ty Hafan, based in her alter ego Nessa’s home of Barry Island.
The aim of the annual list is to recognise and praise notable activists, agitators and grassroots figureheads making an impact on society, as nominated by readers of the magazine.
