Hello friends.

[Fivez]

Hi there everyone.

I have just registered as a new member. I have been viewing the forum for sometime and it is strange how many people post once then add nothing else!

Anyway. Sadly for you lot i am here to stay - haha.

My name is Stuart and i recently started a company called Fivez. In Scotland we have a bad anti-social behaviour problem and as you are aware the young adults of Scotland are not healthy!

I decided to run community 5-a-side and 6-a-side football leagues in disadvantaged areas in Scotland - creating an affordable weekly event that those 16 and over could take part in. I have a website (i am not an expert) at www.fivez.net - any views would be appreciated. I take positive criticism very well and am always looking to learn from the more experienced business people.

In my spare time i help to run the 'Mean Business Programme' at a local young offender’s prison to try and give inmates the skills and confidence needed to start their own business. Hopefully these prisoners will have a business to focus on when leaving prison, thus they are less likely to re-offend.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post and i look forward to speaking to you all in the future.

Regards

Stuart.

HI Stuart

I used to be involved with a similar scheme up here in the Highlands.

Feel free to get in touch if there is anything we can do to help.

That's when my head just goes blank.

I have no idea what that means. As you probably can tell i did the website on front page. At some stage i will be looking to make it a lot better.

However as you can probably tell this business doesn't generate lots of revenue. Hopefully if will soon and i can get a decent website.

Regards

Stu
