All Party Parliamentary Group

All Party Parliamentary Group - Women and Work

Women in Property is an active participant of this cross-party group, which provides a Parliamentary forum to examine constructively and debate the role that policy makers can play to deliver gender balance within the economy. It also allows Members of Parliament and interested stakeholders to examine the responsibilities of employers and to explore what more is required from the private, public and third sectors to deliver the Government's ambitions for women and work. WiP senior team attends both in person at Westminster and virtually, and members can also sign-up to attend on Zoom.

National Chair Emma Richman attended in June, to hear from speakers on Entrepreneurship: Breaking barriers for female founders while, most recently, we were thrilled to be invited to give a short presentation on the Building Balance survey and its key outcomes at the session entitled Making industry work for women. Helen James, South West Committee Member, led the discussion with Jennifer Winyard, former National Chair, presided over by APPG Co-Chair Catherine Fookes MP.

At the end of this current programme of meetings, the APPG Secretariat will prepare a report that deep-dives into the issues raised across the year, including referencing the Building Balance Survey and our subsequent reports. Our thanks go to Helen James for her ongoing commitment to this piece of work
