A Liverpool café has been “blown away” by a “kind gesture” following the response to a tweet asking for help.
Paper Cup Coffee in Queen Square is run by the charity Paper Cup Project which supports the city's homeless community. The coffee shop offers training for people who have experienced homelessness and also has a ‘pay it forward’ scheme, allowing customers to buy food or drinks for those sleeping rough.
The café relies on customers and their generosity when purchasing a coffee or a slice of cake, but last week was particularly tough for the team. On Friday, May 20, Paper Cup Coffee tweeted: “Very slow day for us today. Please come and support us if you are in town tomorrow or next week and fancy a coffee and some cake. We can only carry on the work we do if we have customers through the door.”
