The Wikimedia projects are special: they are written and curated by thousands of volunteers. They are also supported by voluntary donations, through Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia Foundation and other international chapters.
Wikimedia UK is a charity registered in England and Wales that supports and promotesWikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such asWikimedia Commons. Ourmission is to help people and organisations create and preserve open knowledge, and to help provide easy access for all. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors ('Wikimedians'), by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions, by hosting training sessions and editing events, and by acting to advocate the benefits of open knowledge generally.
There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You canbecome a member for just £5 per year. You canvolunteer to work with us in a variety of ways, both online and offline. You can alsomake a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid).Subscribe to our Friends' Newsletter to stay in touch. Click the buttons below to learn more.
