The APPG is focused on showcasing and enhancing the social value contribution made by the defence and security sectors to local communities across the UK. The group unites parliamentarians who are dedicated to advocating for the role these sectors play in national security and bolstering local economies and communities.

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.
