The man whose coffee shop gives homeless people a second chance

Dropping out of university wasn’t the end but the beginning for “big-hearted” Julius, 23, who went on to launch a different kind of coffee shop in east London. His cafe helps rough sleepers get their lives back together – by training them as baristas.
