Wikimedia UK believes that open access to knowledge is a fundamental right, and a driver for social and economic development. Open knowledge and free access mean no barriers and no paywalls. Our projects share the vision of freely creating, distributing and consuming knowledge which represents human diversity.
“There is no greater gift to humanity than free access to knowledge and information. The work of our community – our volunteer editors – is a tremendous service which supports equality of access, builds knowledge, recognises diverse individuals and communities and in doing so, has a huge positive impact on our democratic way of life.”
Monisha Shah, Chair of Trustees, Wikimedia UK

Open knowledge
Open knowledge is accurate, unbiased information which is freely available to everyone. At Wikimedia UK we advocate for open knowledge and free access at organisational, sectoral and public policy level. We support open knowledge development and sustainability through outreach and engagement.
