Welcome to The All Party Group for Animal Welfare (APGAW) Wales website.  APGAW is an all-party/cross-party group made up of Assembly Members and associate animal welfare organisations.  We aim to promote and further the cause of animal welfare by all means available in the National Assembly for Wales.

The next meeting of APGAW is still in the process of being finalised. Please check back soon for updated information.

Minutes of previous meetings are listed on this website but are no longer posted to members.

For security and catering reasons, all associate members must email contact@apgawwales.org or call 0300 123 8910 at least a week before to notify us you wish to attend. Officers have noticed that some members have not been doing this.

APGAW is a group formed by and for Assembly Members. Animal Welfare organisations are invited to attend by AMs and as such they must be notified when associate members wish to attend so that passes can be issued in advance. In addition, with regards the catering, it is important that we have sufficient for all those wishing to attend.
