It seems 1- 1s are done remotely, which means this could also be done by an international organization. I assume this would allow it to be more cost-effective as you would only need one organization, director, CRM, and training for several people who could do 1-1s for several regions.
However, if you do shut down EA UK as a paid organisation, consider what can be done to leave it in such a manner as to allow any core work arising in future to be handled by ad-hoc volunteers, or to be picked back up if the org is restarted in future.
Also, given that the application states that you receive donations of approx. 30% of costs without fundraising, you should give serious consideration to hiring at whatever level of part-time that implies rather than giving up.
Upvoted, tentatively disagreed.
Your last paragraph is exactly why such a position focused on UK specific community-building should exist.
Whether director of EA UK is that position, I simply do not know.
