There are no plans to cover travel costs apart from those officially
part of necessary EGM business, such as the tellers, staff and
trustees who will be there to answer questions and present during the
meeting.
For the EGM, proxy voting is available and we will be encouraging
advance questions on-wiki from everyone regardless of whether they
plan on physically coming to the meeting in order to make good use of
Q&A time. Please add to the discussion at

As with any event, funding would be considered to cater for access for
members with disabilities or with access difficulties that we have not
foreseen. Please email one of the board members in confidence if you
would like to discuss your personal situation further.

Discussion at the EGM will be limited to the charity application and
the associated, relatively technical, issues. For this reason
co-locating at the Wikimeet is intended to help ensure the meeting
attracts sufficient members to be quorate (i.e. more than 20).
The wikimeet itself will be interesting for members and the EGM will
only be a small part of the afternoon. This will be the first time our
CEO will be joining a wikimeet after taking up their appointment (get
your tricky questions ready) and we will be celebrating our 50th, so
expect to pose for a photograph with a slice of cake. :-D
Cheers,
Fae
