We’re pleased to publish this report outlining the APPG’s activities during the period April 2010 - March 2011, to span the 2010-11 financial year.  The period captured corresponds with the APPG’s financial reporting period.

Following the UK General Election in May 2010, APPG Members – both new and old – have remained actively engaged in the Group’s work. At the time of writing (March 2011), the Group contains 194 parliamentarians, 109 of whom are MPs and 85 of whom are Peers. More than thirty new parliamentarians have joined the APPG since the General Election, and the numbers rise each week as more parliamentarians attend APPG events, briefings and meetings.

The APPG re-elected seven new Executive Officers at our May 2010 Annual General Meeting. Eric Joyce MP (Lab) continues to chair the Group and we’re lucky to have a very active and enthusiastic cross-party Executive. You can see the list of our Executive Officers and full Membership list under the ‘Officers’ tab of this website.

The APPG is always looking for new partners to work with, both inside and outside of parliament. If your Group would like to get involved in our work, either providing briefing, hold meetings or contribute in other ways to our work, please contact the APPG Coordinator Sophia Pickles at pickless@parliament.uk
