  North Midlands Region covers Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. Within the region we have 29 groups who give over 9,000 rides to more than 800 riders/drivers each year.

All this combines to bring a new dimension to necessarily restricted lives, encourages independence and does much to improve a wide range of medical conditions.
