Ahmadiyya Muslim Community APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG brings together parliamentarians who are keen to support the work of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, one of Britain’s oldest established Muslim communities. It seeks to make parliamentarians and others aware of the extensive positive work of the community and to speak up on issues of persecution and extremism that Ahmadi Muslims face.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
