Blackburn Young Person's is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with a younger focus, meeting every Wednesday at 7.30pm at Blackburn Fire Station on Byrom Street — five minutes' walk from the bus and train stations, at one end of the blue and white bridge. It is an open meeting running an hour and a half, welcome to all ages and to family and friends; the young person's badge shapes the sharing rather than the door policy. Getting sober young can feel like leaving a party early — this room is full of people who did it anyway, and are glad. The same venue hosts a Thursday NA meeting, making the fire station an unlikely twin engine of Blackburn recovery.
Is there an age limit?
No — it is an open meeting for all ages. The 'young person's' focus means the sharing tends to centre on getting and staying sober young.
How do I get there?
Blackburn Fire Station on Byrom Street, at one end of the blue and white bridge — about five minutes on foot from the bus and train stations.
Can I just listen?
Absolutely. Nobody is required to speak at an AA meeting. Come, listen, and decide in your own time.
