These are regional groups formed by the meetings in parts of the UK to discuss issues raised by groups before taking them to the NSC, and to organise social events and workshops within their area. There are presently two voting entities in the UK
The National Service Committee, setup when CoDA arrived in the UK in 1989. The other voting entity Intergroup North & Regions was established in 2017 and meets four times a year.
The region focuses on group issues and projects, group support, promoting events, workshops and sponsorship with the aim of encouraging the continual growth of the fellowship.
