Apart from the main Board of Trustees we have the following committees:
Board committees
These are standing sub-committees of the board, with a membership limited to trustees and external appointees with specialist skills and experience.
- 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 Audit and Risk Committee, which focuses on the effectiveness of the charity's financial control systems and on all aspects of risk-mitigation.
Non-board committees
These are special-interest committees, and will normally include non-trustee members.
- The Conference Committee, which focuses on Wikimedia conferences that take place in the UK, including the annual WikiConference UK.
- The Education Committee, which focuses on work with the educational sector, including secondary and university education.
- The GLAM Committee, which focuses on work with the cultural sector (GLAM is Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).
- The Technology Committee, which focuses on developing MediaWiki and other open software tools used by Wikimedia UK.
- The Grants Committee, focused on our Grants process.
These committees should formally be referred to as the "Wikimedia UK <name> Committee"; they may internally also be referred to as subcommittees of WMUK.
