London’s Eggs & Bread café offers boiled eggs, toast, jam and bacon, as wells as tea, coffee and orange juice. But at the end of the meal, customers don’t have to worry about the bill. Hungry customers can pay whatever amount they can afford  to eat at the café or nothing at all. Owner, Guy Wilson, says his café aims to build community rather than profits. He wants to provide a bridge for people to connect in an area that has been divided by class and wealth by providing affordable breakfasts[Q5]. The café is opened in the mornings every day of the year and has two members of staff or supervisors on shift every day. The café doesn’t use volunteers but pays its staff to ensure consistency of its service.  It doesn’t take donations and doesn’t want to be seen as charity[Q6]. Mr Wilson says when people starts to know other people around them, they realize they are not that different, and whatever their financial background or their educational background, most people will have something in common with each other[Q7]. He says it’s important that his café can offer his customers security and permanence.
