For the 30th anniversary, she was the Co-Executive Producer of a cinema released documentary called Someone’s Daughter Someone’s Son.

A lack of affordable, accessible healthy food and access to a kitchen are some of the issues commonly faced by Big Issue vendors and other marginalised people. Many of the newspaper's vendors have horticultural growing skills and the Big Issue is looking to pilot a project in regenerative food growing, that will grow food and grow people.
