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.
“Our story should be everyone’s story – we have an opportunity and a duty to use our platform to oppose injustice and equality and to stand in solidarity with people whose voices are marginalised in our community and in our society.”
Nick Poole CEO, CILIP and Former Chair of the Board for 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.
