John Bird, Baron Bird
John Anthony Bird, Baron Bird MBE (born 30 January 1946) is a British social entrepreneur. He is best known as the founder of ''The Big Issue'', a magazine that is edited by professional journalists and sold by street vendors affected by homelessness.
==Early life==
Bird was born in Notting Hill, London to a poor London Irish family. He became homeless at the age of five, resided in an orphanage between the ages of seven and ten, and was excluded from school. He became a butcher's boy after leaving the orphanage, but supplemented his income by stealing. He spent several spells in prison during his teens and twenties where he learnt reading, writing and the basics of printing.〔
Bird attended Chelsea School of Art, but was homeless again by 1967, this time sleeping rough in Edinburgh while being sought by the police for petty offences. In the early 1970s he started to build upon his limited prison education and set up a small-scale printing and publishing business in London.〔
