The People Behind CiviCRM Make All the Difference
Working with CiviCRM every day at the Wikimedia Foundation has given me a real appreciation for the people behind the system. As a user, I know how much we rely on Civi to support our work and how important it is to have people we can turn to when we need help!

What the Beacon CRM breach means for charity data — and the case for data ownership
In late July 2026, Beacon CRM — a cloud fundraising platform used by more than 1,500 UK charities — discovered that someone had used compromised credentials to access copies of its customer database backups.
In June 2026, users from around the UK met for CiviBRM, a user focussed event in Birmingham.
The programme was deliberately expansive, reflecting the many different ways people use CiviCRM. We heard from organisations running advice services, campaigning and fundraising, managing events, supporting volunteers and building community savings clubs.
