The British-German Association (BGA) is a nonprofit, membership organisation based in London, UK. Its mission is to promote understanding and forge links between Britain and Germany.[2][3][4][5]

Background[edit]

Founded in 1951, the BGA is currently chaired by Peter Barnes and The Duke of Kent serves as its Royal Patron.[6][7] The BGA works closely with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and with the German Embassy in London.

The BGA hosts an annual calendar of educational, corporate, cultural and social events for its members. The BGA seeks to support and co-ordinate the work of other national, regional or sectoral voluntary organisations involved with the UK and Germany. The BGA works closely with the Deutsch-Britische Gesellschaft,[8] its equivalent organisation in Germany.

Members[edit]

Membership of the BGA is open to any UK resident who supports the BGA's charitable objectives. The BGA is supported by corporate members, mainly major companies with business interests in the UK and Germany.[9] Major corporate members include:[10]
