The West Midlands Branch is one of 11 regional branches in England, and part of a wider network of IOP activity across our Nations including Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

We cover the areas of Birmingham, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire with evening talks based in Birmingham, Hereford and Worcester and Keele.

We work with schools by giving talks and demonstrations on a variety of subjects and run after-school clubs in some areas.
