Regional Meetings

‘Accomplishing More Together’

The aim of the ISAAC UK regional meetings is to connect, encourage and equip Christians who are involved in any aspect of addictions / recovery work, as a paid worker, volunteer or involved friend / family member.

The meeting are not exclusively for ISAAC members. They can serve as a great introduction to the ISAAC community for others who may benefit from becoming members.
