Regional Groups
There are regional ABI groups throughout the UK. UKABIF works with these groups to set common aims, encourage sharing of information and practice and co-ordinate group work. You can contact your local group or find out more about them by clicking on the links below (please note that some groups do not yet have websites so the links will be to an email address.
If there isn’t a group in your area you may like to help to establish one. UKABIF supports new groups by providing local contacts and meeting spaces and by attending early meetings to give you ideas about what you can try to achieve.
