Exactly how do you come to this conclusions? It is a huge step from
"some debts" (which the directors of the company will cover, as I
understand) to "facing bankruptcy".
Further, I have not heard of any "problems with the authorities",
could you expand?
Does she have the authority to dissolve it?
No, that's why she won't do this alone. I suggest an ad fontes
approach next time...:

"As such, I am proposing with immediate effect that Wiki Educational
Resources Ltd be wound up in accordance with Article 8 of the Memorandum
of Association and an EGM will be called to that end. "
EGM = Extraordinary General Meeting, fyi.

Alison Wheeler announced today the impending dissolution of Wiki Educational
Resources Ltd (Wikimedia UK). It isn't clear from her message why she
determined to fold it instead of pass on leadership to those interested. [1]
All other considerations aside, the Wikimedia community owes Alison and the
other members of the WMUK board of directors a debt of thanks for their
efforts over the last two years. More than anything else, its clear that
creating and managing a charity as a volunteer in the United Kingdom is a
difficult undertaking.
