Dear all

The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) has recommended that the Wikimedia Foundation awards Wikimedia UK £277,300 towards our work in 2016/17. Their comments on our proposal are here, along with the other organisations being assessed in this round:

This is around 12% less than we had requested, so we will need to look at our plans next year in order to balance the budget, however it is still a good result and I would like to thank Daria and the rest of the team for all their work on the proposal this year. 

Best wishes

Lucy
