- Business Name: Cally's

- Aim: The purpose of Cally's is to provide a community service to Scalvoris. Once the restaurant is established, the aim is that first the land will be expanded and then barracks-style accommodation will be put at the back of the restaurant. This will be a hostel for a small number of those who are willing to work in order to learn a trade. They are given a place to live and the opportunity to learn farming, running a business and / or cooking, in return for which they provide extra, free, hands. Once they have undergone the training, they are replaced by another, and so it continues. I'm thinking there will be five trainees at any one time.
- Profit Faith will take a maximum of 50% of her wage from this venture with the aim of investing back into the business and then, once it is functioning to it's maximum (including the farming land being livestock as well as crop), she will use it to fund community projects such as providing free education etc.
- Social Enterprise? A social enterprise is the middle ground between business and charity. Whilst still making a profit some or all of that profit is put back into the community, often providing education, skills and other services to those who are most needy. That is the aim of this business and, as the profits (hopefully!) continue to come in, they will be invested in more and more community projects which Faith will either start herself or will donate money to
