Wikimedia UK/Wikimedia Foundation meetup
by Lucy Crompton-Reid 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Dear all On *Friday 12th July from 2 - 4pm* there will be an informal meetup event in London for Wikimedians in the UK and Wikimedia Foundation's London based staff, plus senior leadership and trustees. I will confirm the venue nearer the time but it's likely to be in the South Bank area, near Waterloo and/or London Bridge. It would be great to see contributors and volunteers there! Please could you let me know if you think you can make it, so we have an idea of numbers. Best wishes Lucy -- Lucy Crompton-Reid Chief Executive

Introducing Wikimedia UK's new Head of Development and Communications
by Lucy Crompton-Reid 28 May '24

28 May '24

Dear all I'm very pleased to introduce Wikimedia UK's new Head of Development and Communications, Belvin Tawuya. Belvin joined us two weeks ago (replacing Natasha Iles) and is already settling in well, getting to know the team and thinking about how to amplify our work and secure additional funds. Belvin's most recent role was Chief Digital, Communications and Marketing Officer at the Africa Centre, and his career includes strategic communications and digital roles at organisations including the Financial Ombudsman Service. He is strongly committed to Wikimedia UK's vision and mission and has personally benefited significantly from open access to knowledge. I know that Belvin is looking forward to getting to know the volunteer community in the UK, and I'm sure he would welcome your insight and input into how we can communicate to the world about our work and the Wikimedia projects more broadly. Best wishes Lucy -- Lucy Crompton-Reid Chief Executive

Animations
by Katie Crampton 16 May '24

16 May '24

Hi everyone We’re delighted to share the animations <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA1TdXweNjs&list=PL66MRMNlLyR7rmF0ylT0fIWxE…> we’ve been working on with Ritzy Animation over the last few months. There are four animations covering our work; the longest being an intro to Wikimedia UK video, with three slightly shorter videos outlining our three strategic aims of knowledge equity, information literacy, and climate and environment. We’re really pleased with how the animations came out. They’re now on our website in a blog post <https://wikimedia.org.uk/2024/05/bringing-our-mission-to-life-through-anima…> and we've shared them on social media if you’d like to help us spread the word there.
