About this meeting

Serving the Bacup and Waterfoot end of the Rossendale valley, this discussion-format Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held on Thursday nights at 8pm at Whitewell Bottom Community Centre. The centre sits on Burnley Road East, directly across from Brock Clough Road, and the meeting lasts an hour and a half. Being a discussion meeting, members share around a topic rather than listening to a single speaker, so you will hear a range of voices and experiences in one evening. It is an open meeting; anyone may attend, including family and friends. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. As always with AA, it is free and there is no need to book.
