Dear all

Yes, Wikimedia UK does have to move as the building we are currently based in has been sold by our current landlords (Ethical Property Ltd.) to new developers (who are likely to knock it down and start again, apparently!) We don't have a fixed date yet by which we will have to leave but the latest update from Ethical Property suggest it will be by next September - although if we find a suitable alternative before then we may move sooner.

Our Director of Finance and Operations, Davina Johnson, is leading on the move and I will ask her to put together an update for this list. We will be happy to receive your suggestions and input as we are currently in a research phase in terms of options, although the board will make the final decision. Davina works part time so will not be able to email you all immediately, hence this message to let you know the situation in broad terms.

Best

Lucy

Also, what would the relocation costs be?

Savings on the rent, of course....
