All-Party Parliamentary Group on Charities and Volunteering (APPG)

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.

It's not been approved by either house or its committees.

APPGs are informal groups of members of both houses with a common interest in particular issues. The views expressed in these webpages are those of the group.
