Clan 2014
The Organising Committee is at the heart of Clan
2014, which is made up of the following:
Games partners
Our Games partners have substantial influence over the success
of the Games through funding and governance. Our Games partners are
Scottish Government, Glasgow City Council, Commonwealth Games
Federation and Commonwealth Games Scotland.
The Scottish Government (SG)
The SG has full legislative competence across a wide range of
devolved subjects. These include the vast majority of policy areas
(including sports) necessary to host the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth
Games.
The SG will provide 80% of the public funding for the Games. It
will ensure the delivery of major infrastructure projects already
planned in areas such as transport.
It will introduce legislation to the Scottish Parliament to
ensure compliance with all aspects of the requirements set out by
the Commonwealth Games Federation. It has overall responsibility
for the security of the Games and for the planning for
Scotland-wide legacy benefits.

Glasgow City Council (GCC)
The GCC will provide 20% of the public funding of the
Games. This will ensure the delivery of major infrastructure
projects including transport.
The Council has responsibility for the design and construction
of the Athletes’ Village and ensuring long-term legacy benefits for
Glasgow in areas that include social, health, regeneration,
environmental and economic agendas. For more information on the
Council’s legacy plan, please click

The Council will provide a programme of related cultural events
to take place in the lead-up to and during the period of the Games.
It will also ensure additional cleaning of the city.
Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS)
CGS is the host Commonwealth Games Association for the Glasgow
2014 Commonwealth Games. It is a signatory to the Host City
Contract and is represented on the Glasgow 2014 Ltd Board.
CGS is the national sporting organisation charged with entering
a Scottish Team in the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth
Games every two years, along with 70 other Commonwealth countries,
territories and dependencies.
Membership of the Games Council consists of representatives of
the 26 sports in the Commonwealth Games programme, from which the
Host City selects up to 17 sports for each Games.
CGS has the responsibility to select, prepare, outfit and
transport the Scottish Team for each Games. Each Games Team is
managed by a volunteer appointed by CGS, which is supported by
the office staff and contracted professional support in the media
and public relations.
Under the auspices of CGS, it is the role of the respective
Scottish Sport Governing Bodies (SGBs) to appropriately prepare
Scottish athletes in meeting the requisite standards for team
selection in order to compete and perform at world class level
during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF)
The CGF is the custodian of the Commonwealth Games with
responsibility for establishing Games-wide requirements and
standards. It has final-approval authority for all Games
arrangements and provides advice and support to the Organising
Committee (OC) and related agencies through the CGF
Coordination Committee and the Commonwealth Games Knowledge
Management Programme (CGKMP).
The CFG oversees the conduct of the Games and ensures their
appropriate delivery in partnership with the OC. Finally, it
assists in the management of the Games constituents’
expectations.
Stakeholders
Our stakeholders are individuals or organisations that receive,
provide, have an interest or are involved in decisions that impact
on the success of the Games.
Advocates
Our advocates are individuals or organisations that indirectly
support the Games through testimony, volunteering, building public
awareness and support.
The reason that we have created this structure is
to map out who we will communicate and engage with in the run up to
the Games, as well as who will be communicating and engaging with
the OC.
We are currently in the process of determining who the people
and organisations are that make up the community. The second stage
will be to place them within the community. We will then progress
this with a communications and engagement plan to involve the
community in the Games. In working in partnership with the
Glasgow 2014 Community we hope to raise the profile of the Games
and engage the whole of Scotland.
