We worked with Cwmpas Wales, formerly the Wales Co-operative Centre to create the best cooperative structure for the company. There were several cooperative company structures available to us, we wanted to choose the one that allowed you to take a stake in the company through a shareholding. We also wanted to ensure we had the best mechanism for reinvesting in improved services and projects which benefit local communities. That’s why we incorporated as a Community Benefit Society.
Following a rigorous process on the 9th of June 2023 Talking Wales Limited was incorporated as a CBS with the Financial Conduct Authority, registration number 9087. We are running a pilot service during the 2024 General Election and preparing for a share issue which will raise the required working capital for us to launch a full service later this year.
Your support is greatly appreciated and valued, and you can help us during our pilot phase by clicking the donate button below.
