Wikimedia UK currently has a Board of Trustees with an excellent range of professional skills and backgrounds.

Board elections
This year we have three vacancies for elected trustees, and are keen to hear from members of the Wikimedia community in the UK who would be interested in joining the Board. The process for standing for election is detailed here and the deadline for nominations is midnight on Friday 6th September.
Wikimedia UK currently has a Board of Trustees with an excellent range of professional skills and backgrounds. For the 2024 elections, we are particularly keen for members of the extended Wikimedia UK community to stand. What is most important is a commitment to open knowledge and the work of Wikimedia UK, and a willingness to take on the responsibility of being a charity trustee and board director of a limited company, however you do not need charity governance experience as training will be provided. We value diversity in Wikimedia UK's board of trustees and as ever, would warmly encourage people from historically underrepresented backgrounds to stand for the board.
If you would like an informal conversation with our Chief Executive or one of the trustees about what being on the board involves, and potentially standing for election, please do send an email to info
wikimedia.org.uk and we will set up a call. Details for standing for election can be found on the Board/Becoming a trustee page and will be sent to members via email.
