In an attempt to 5dentify other avenue5 through which MAY mlght continue with its oblecttves of providln8 for the young people of the area it serves. MAY representatives met on a number of occasions to discu55 various options. At these meetings it was concluded that MAY does not have the practical resources to run initiatives Itself, but should explore working withlsupportin8 third parties, elther financially or by providing volunteers. In Ilght of the above-mentione(I developments, and subsequent di5CU5sions, it was eventually decided that unfortunately MAY would not be in a position to fully utilise the grant that had been awarded by The Rothschild Foundation to pay for a professional youth worker.
