In age terms they are probably middling diverse - It would be interesting
to work out the exact diversity but I suspect that we have few adult
members who are more than a quarter of a century older or younger than the
trustee closest to their age. Some charities have trustees who are all
pensioners, one I know has many clients who are over thirty years younger
than its youngest trustee.
In terms of Geography they are pretty diverse for a UK board. I think we've
had a WMUK board with no-one from London or the SouthEast, this board has a
geographic spread such that a large majority of either UK members, editors
or potential editors are within an hours journey of at least one trustee.
In Wikimedia terms we could consider the diversity by Project or subject.
By project I think we have a predictable skew towards Wikipedia, and one
particular language version of Wikipedia. I'm not sure what the diversity
is by editing subject area, but I think that diversity there is important
for a WMUK board. Some gender diversity would also be nice, it must be
difficult for an all male board to give practical help in reducing our
gender imbalance.

Not entirely fair. The board does have a non-white and
non-heterosexual trustee. :-)
