The Wikimedia projects are special. They are written and curated by thousands of volunteers, and are supported by voluntary donations, just like Wikimedia UK.
Wikimedia UK is the registered charity that supports and promotes Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such as Wikimedia Commons. We exist to collect, develop, promote and distribute freely licensed knowledge. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors – Wikimedians – and by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions. We also host training sessions, editing events and this year we are hosting Wikimania, the annual global Wikimedia conference, in London.
There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You can become a member for just £5 per year. You can volunteer with us in lots of exciting ways, both online and offline. You can also make a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid). Click the buttons below to learn more.
