Buns 'n' Brexit: The cafe owner helping EU citizens stay in the UK

Freedom of movement, the principle that allows EU citizens to live and work anywhere in the European Union, will end in December. It's estimated that 3.8 million EU citizens have made their home in the UK. The UK government requires them to apply for the right to stay in the UK post Brexit - known as settled status.

The Swedish owner of the Scandinavian Kitchen cafe in London has been helping EU citizens fill out their forms under the Buns 'n' Brexit initiative. People turn up to have their passports scanned and get help with the online form as well as immigration advice. She describes why she's doing this and how the people she is helping are feeling.
