First Registered: 19/06/2019 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

To be part of the solution for finding a sustainable social care model; build a positive cross-party vision for the future for social care; unlock Parliament to the social care sector, and open the doors of social care to local MPs; be led by lived experience and championed by parliamentarians.

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.
