One of the reasons for the existence of Wikimedia UK is to support projects run by volunteers in the UK (and elsewhere). The current and past projects are given below; we have a page where you can submit a proposal for a project and come up with ideas for projects.
Current projects
Wikimedia UK is currently active in the following projects:
- Wikipedia Loves Art
- Copyright consultation
- Oxford bid for Wikimania 2010 (also see the local sandbox)
Also see the Wikimedia UK Business Plan.
Past projects
- None; they're all still current!
