Membership - WMUK

Become a member

Our members are fundamental to our activities and we welcome everyone who supports our aims to join us. Please see the Organisational Membership page to join as an organisation.

Membership is open to all; you do not have to live in the UK, be over a certain age or be editors of any of the Wikimedia projects. All we ask is that members agree to support our Objects and not to bring Wikimedia UK into disrepute.

Benefits

You are supporting our goals and our work
You can vote at our Annual General Meetings, where our Board is elected and administrative motions are passed
You can apply for project grants
You can join our discussion mail list to participate in planning new events and policy improvement; however it is not essential to be a member to join this list.
Trusted volunteers can borrow Wikimedia UK volunteer equipment for use related to our charitable goals

Members must disclose to Wikimedia UK their full name and residential address; but they don’t have to disclose their username on any of the Wikimedia projects. The personal data is included in the chapter’s Register of Members, and this is made available to anyone with reasonable cause requesting the information. If you aren’t comfortable disclosing this information, please still consider donating to the chapter instead, and supporting our activities by your participation.

Membership fee

The current membership fee is £5 per year for individuals and £100 for organisations.
