What a great article, thanks Peeblean, v well and expressed .

A few things perhaps stand out with this charity:

1. Poor business plan to anticipate how it was going to pan out in a worthwhile project.

2. Lack of compassion and communication for the vulnerable young adults involved who were meant to be helped.

3. So much support in the local community not taken forward to make it work by TYA

4. Loosing sight of one of their core objectives (which gets funding!) to help young adults into the work place and build their skills.

5. Disconnect between Trustees/Manager with the pizza enterprise to understand and continue to make it a positive success story rather than it spiralling out of control to upset so many in the community and esp the (former) hard working staff.

6. So what next for how TYA is being run?

Thanks for gathering all sides of this very important story and laying it out so clearly. Hopefully these incredible young people will get some answers now. There is a huge amount of support for them and this project in local business and wider community.
