I've never heard of them but a cursory search on google seems to show them as Maoist outfit, but they come off more as a solidarity group with the Maoists in Nepal as well as resistances in the third world regardless of their ideological position. Their website (http://www.wprmbritain.org) hasn't had an update in many months, and before that updates were already on an irregular basis. Their events listing only has a Mumia solidarity thing from 2010 and in statements a message from the Nepali Maoists back in 2012 and KOE (Greek Maoists inside SYRIZA) in 2010. I doubt they do much of anything right now- if they are active they don't air it on the internet. It comes off as moribund to me right now.

That being said I've never really been aware of significant Maoist outfits in the UK outside of some groups brought over by immigrants (like the TKP/ML from Turkey) Those that I'm looking at seem to've been stuck as very small groups even by far left standards, especially after the 80s. Maybe a Maoist could explain this better.
