A forum for discussing the issues affecting the voluntary and community sector.
APPG meetings are attended by a range of parliamentarians and members of the voluntary sector.
Recent topics have ranged from the role of charities in campaigning to volunteer internships. The APPG also holds a yearly meeting with the Charity Commission.
We very much welcome attendees from the voluntary sector.
Meetings usually take the form of presentations by speakers and then a question-and-answer session with the floor. However, parliamentarians do have priority in asking questions.
The APPG met in March 2025 to discuss increases to employer national insurance contributions and potential measures that could ease the impact on voluntary organisations.
