We should be looking at indirectly estimating the impact WMUK has in each given time-period on its goal: "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 the Wikimedia Foundation."

I'd suggest that a decent estimate of the number of volunteer-hours devoted to WMUK events per month would be a really good starting point. See what the trend has been over time.

Volunteer involvement is the life-blood of WMUK. Anything else is unsustainable without that.

Well, it's a good job we had that get-together last weekend so that the board could (pretend to) listen to the community's thoughts. Oh, wait... Well it's a good job WMUK has independent revenue streams. Oh, wait... Well, it's a good job we've still got those 200-odd volunteers from last year's Wikimania, they should help us tick some boxes for our KPIs. Oh wait...
