<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure if this will help you, but the UK Wikimedia chapter's objects are as follows:<div><ul><li>The Objects of the Charity are, for the benefit of the public, to promote and support the widest possible public access to, use of and contribution to Open Content of an encyclopaedic or educational nature or of similar utility to the general public, in particular the Open Content supported and provided by Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., based in San Francisco, California, USA. </li><li>"Content" means textual or numerical information, still or moving images, sound or music or other data disseminated on printed, electronic and other appropriate media and services. Content is subject to editorial policies and safeguards designed to ensure its overall accuracy and quality. </li><li>Content is "Open" when it is available for no charge and without discrimination to the general public, with legal rights to view, copy, share, adapt, improve and otherwise use and reuse that content and when technical measures are in place to support such usage.<br></li></ul><div>We don't limit our activities to the UK in our objects - it would make it difficult for us to work with organisations abroad (like UNESCO, for example).
