WEST MIDLANDS

About the Group

Welcome to the West Midlands region. We are an active region that meets every two months and hosts a robust CPD offer, with regular training events, informal-led sessions, catch-ups, and socials. We encourage all our members to participate; we have many wonderfully skilled individuals working in our area and love to get them involved! With the University of Wolverhampton being in our region, we have lots of students, too, who are valuable members of our region.

The West Midlands region covers a wide area, so much of our training is online, but we do love to meet face-to-face throughout the year.

We are currently facilitated by a small committee of Dave Appleby, Georgie Barnett, Sarah Perks, Selina Jacques-King and Sophie Hewson.

Welcome to all and any new members please get in touch.

Please send any enquiries to westmidands@asli.org.uk
