Copyright and your article
Let me explain a little more. Putting something on public display on a website does not put it into the Public Domain, which is a technical term in copyright law. Please read Copy-paste - Wikipedia cannot accept text copied from elsewhere, even if it does not bear a copyright sign, unless a formal copyright release has been made. For one thing, we have no way to be certain that someone on the end of a wire is who he says or has the authority he claims; for another, release to Wikipedia involves much more than just permission to reproduce, because Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA license permits any reader to copy, modify, and use for any purpose including commercial, and it is essential that the actual copyright owner understands and agrees to that. The procedure for making a copyright release is explained at WP:Donating copyright materials if you are the copyright owner or WP:Requesting copyright permission if someone else is.

It is usually not worth making a copyright release, because material written for another purpose almost always has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. That is a very important principle - Wikipedia is not for promotion of anything, even worthy causes; it is a project to build an encyclopedia, not a notice-board for organizations to pin their literature to. User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard explains this in more detail.

As you are working for the organization you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read that guideline and WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

What you should do is, work on the draft article Peridon has put in your user space at User:Arwel ap Dewi ap Siôn/Shaping the Future Project. Read WP:Your first article first. Describe the organization and what it does in neutral terms - do not attempt to boost it or promote its cause or say how splendid it is - read WP:PEACOCK. Do not think of yourself as writing for the organization - you are writing for Wikipedia about the organization. In order to establish notability, you will need to give references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

When you have done your best, click "submit" at the top of the draft, and it will go to WP:Articles for creation where either it will be accepted or you will be given feedback.
