Become a member

Our members are fundamental to our activities and we welcome everyone who supports our aims to join us.

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 of being a Wikimedia UK member

• 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.

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.
