The APPG champions the huge economic contribution made by the North’s cultural sector, providing a united voice on pan-northern cultural priorities in order to shape and influence future government decision-making and promoting the need for investment in the North’s strong cultural talent pipeline and heritage.
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.
