Aims of the Continental European Region
- To promote communication and cooperation between neighbouring Intergroups, thus implementing our tradition of Unity and creating service boards or committees where needed.
- To ensure that the Region recognises areas that are sparsely served by the Fellowship do not remain isolated but become part of the Regionā??s responsibility.
- To share Intergroup experience in the field of co-operation with outside agencies, prisons, health services, schools, social services, alcohol abuse agencies, churches, courts, probation services, industry, and any other appropriate institutions and areas of society.
- To increase opportunity for members to participate in our Third Legacy of Service.
- To enable members with particular experience to serve a wider area.
