Westminster has a wide range of groups that staff can join, reflecting the diverse interests, backgrounds and experiences of those who work in and around Parliament. These include staff networks, support groups, faith groups, professional and policy discussion groups, hobby and interest groups, and sports clubs.
Some groups provide peer support and a sense of community for people with shared experiences, such as carers, people affected by cancer, disabled staff, LGBT+ staff and colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds. Others bring together people with common interests, beliefs or professional interests, while many offer opportunities to take part in sport, wellbeing activities and social events.
The range of groups available changes regularly as new groups are formed and others become inactive. The list below is intended as a helpful guide, but it may not be completely up to date.
