WMUK currently has three committees which act as standing sub-committees of the board. These committees comprise trustees plus additional external members who are appointed by the board for their specialist skills and experience.
We have a number of committees that focus on general topic areas of Wikimedia UK's work. These are:


* The [[Conference Committee]], which focuses on Wikimedia conferences that take place in the UK, including the annual WikiConference UK and bidding for [[Wikimania 2014]].
* The [[Governance Committee]], which focuses on monitoring and advising on best practice in charity and corporate governance, succession-planning, and the competence and performance of the Board and individual trustees.
* The [[Education Committee]], which focuses on work with the educational sector, including secondary and university education.
* The [[Audit and Risk Committee]], which focuses on the effectiveness of the charity's financial control systems and on all aspects of risk-mitigation.
* The [[GLAM Committee]], which focuses on work with the cultural sector (GLAM is Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).
* The [[Community Development Committee]], which exists to advise the board on community and volunteer issues generally, and to  consider any community-related matters that may be delegated to the Committee by the board.
 
These committees were set up in 2012, and will exist for an indefinite period of time. They should formally be referred to as the "Wikimedia UK <name> Committee"; they may internally also be referred to as subcommittees of WMUK.
 
Future committees may include:
* The [[Technology Committee]], focusing on developing MediaWiki and other open software tools used by Wikimedia UK.
* The [[Grants Committee]], focused on our [[Grants]] process.
