Company activities and impact

Menywod Cyhoeddi Cymru CIC operated as a network supporting women working in, or seeking to enter, the Welsh publishing sector. The CIC’s activities benefited the community by increasing access to professional connection, guidance and opportunities for women in publishing, and by reducing isolation for those working freelance, remotely, or outside established industry networks. The CIC’s activities delivered public benefit in the following ways: Women in Welsh publishing (including early-career practitioners, freelancers and those exploring entry routes) benefited from access to peer support, networking and knowledge-sharing, helping them to build confidence, skills and professional connections. The CIC facilitated community-building and collaboration by connecting stakeholders across Wales, including individuals, small organisations and sector partners, strengthening participation and representation of women within the publishing landscape. Activities promoted equality of opportunity by creating a supportive space for women who may face barriers to progression, particularly those without existing industry contacts, and those balancing caring responsibilities or working flexibly. After the funding period ended, the CIC’s available funds reduced to a level that made it impractical to continue operating and meeting essential running costs. The directors therefore decided to cease activities and apply for voluntary strike-off, in order to close the CIC responsibly and avoid incurring further liabilities.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are women working in, or seeking to enter, the Welsh publishing sector, including members of the network, event participants and attendees, volunteers/supporters, and partner organisations and individuals in the publishing and cultural sector (including the project funder(s), such as the Books Council of Wales). The directors consulted stakeholders through the CIC’s inaugural AGM and through ongoing engagement with members and participants during the year (for example, via event communications and informal feedback). The AGM provided a formal opportunity for members to ask questions, provide input, and take part in decision-making about the CIC’s governance and future direction. Following consultation at the AGM, members were given another opportunity to take up formal roles/positions to support the continuation of the CIC’s activities. No members came forward to take up these roles. In response, and in light of limited capacity and resources after the project funding period ended, the director submitted a formal resignation and the CIC ceased activities and moved toward voluntary strike-off in order to close responsibly and avoid incurring further liabilities.

Directors' remuneration

The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £1,300. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
