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 Wikimania 2014.
  • 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 Audit and Risk Committee, which focuses on the effectiveness of the charity's financial control systems and on all aspects of risk-mitigation.

These committees were set up in 2012/13, 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.
