Charities and Volunteering APPG

First Registered: 16/03/2016 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG brings together MPs and Peers interested in the UK voluntary sector to learn more about how charities and volunteers strengthen and support our communities and wider society.

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.
