As from 1 September 1993 the Central England and Southern fundraising regions ceased to exist, and their respective Regional Offices closed. The branches previously in those regions have been transferred to other regions as listed below.

The former Wales Region is now known as Wales and West Mercia Region, more accurately to reflect the area covered.South East From Central England: Oxon Banbury Bicester Chipping Norton Kidlington Windrush Valley Woodstock and District From Southern: Berkshire Ascot Bracknell and District Caversham Cookham Crowthorne and District Datchet Hungerford Lambourn Maidenhead Mortimer and District Newbury and District Old Windsor Pangbourne and District Reading Slough and District Sonning St Sebastians Tilehurst and Purley Twyford, Ruscombe and Hurst Wargrave Windsor Wokingham and District Woodley Hampshire Aldershot Alton Andover Basingstoke and District Bishop's Waltham Botley Bransgore and District Guild Calshot -
