In an 18 October 2016 press release concerning Westway Trust agreeing to work with leisure operator Everyone Active, otherwise known as SLM, the two companies stated in the release that "The partnership between the two organisations will enhance current community programmes and schemes as well as protect concessionary pricing."
Today, 27 November, just over one month later, we learn that concessionary pricing for older people buying the monthly climbing pass is being withdrawn. Why are the two organisations behaving in exactly the opposite way to the stated direction in the press release?

It seems to me that Westway Trust, a charity, has privatised the management of its Westway facility and that this, in my view, is wrong, as is effectively lying in a press release.
