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

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
