All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups within the UK Parliament where Members of Parliament and Lords come together to discuss specific issues or interests, such as healthcare, education, or the environment. They are not official government bodies but serve as platforms for dialogue, advocacy, and informing policy. APPGs often work with experts, organizations, and stakeholders outside Parliament to raise awareness and develop understanding on various topics, supporting informed decision-making without involving formal legislative processes.
