INSP Vendor Playlist: Street paper vendors on their favourite songs and what they mean to them

Each year, INSP puts together a hugely popular feature for the festive period that is focused on street paper vendors from around the world. Too often, vendors are reduced to the problems they face. While it’s important to confront the issues vulnerable people deal with daily, sometimes we can miss the little things that make us all, homeless or not, who we are. So, this year we asked something a little different of vendors: if you could give a song as a present this Christmas, what would you choose? The result was the INSP Vendor Playlist, which is now available for your listening pleasure.
