In light of the ongoing and unprecedented COVID-19 situation, sport in Wales is facing tough challenges, and to protect the jobs of our staff and to help the sport of cycling through these troubling times, Welsh Cycling will be furloughing 17 members of staff through the government's job retention scheme. This will be starting from April 14 until further notice.

CEO, Anne Adams-King said: “This was an extremely difficult decision to make, but because of the ongoing challenges cycling is facing in Wales, this step is necessary to ensure we protect the jobs of our amazing staff, but to also help protect the sport here in Wales.

“As the governing body of cycling in Wales we have to do what is right for the future of the sport, and when, alongside British and Scottish cycling the decision was made to suspend all sanctioned cycling activity until June 30 – we knew, as an organisation we would have to adapt.

“So, we’ve had to make this decision which will see roles across the organisation being affected. however We will be maintaining as a many services as possible with a reduced number of staff.

“Therefore, we are taking steps to protect Welsh Cycling, as well as the jobs of our employees, by using some of the measures announced by the Government in recent weeks.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when necessary.

“We know that across Wales today many people are discovering or rediscovering the benefits of cycling for transport and for exercise, whilst adhering to the current government guidance and sticking to those social distancing rules. But we remain committed to working hard for our members, for our sport and for anyone who loves getting on a bike.”
