Special Resolution:
That the members of Weightlifting Wales approve the adoption of the Community Interest Company (CIC) structure, and that the company’s Articles of Association be replaced in their entirety with the CIC Articles presented to members in advance of this meeting.
Why we propose that Wales Weightlifting Federation becomes a CIC:
This change strengthens Wales Weightlifting Federation as a community-focused, not-for-profit organisation. It ensures all surpluses are reinvested into our sport of Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting and into community wellbeing. Becoming a CIC provides greater access to a wider range of funding bodies that specifically support community-focused organisations. It also protects our assets through an “asset lock,” ensuring they remain dedicated to public benefit. Day-to-day operations will remain the same, but our structure will now better reflect our social purpose and long-term commitment to developing the sport and supporting communities across Wales.
