On Saturday mornings at half past ten, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held in the Chaplaincy at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor's main hospital, running for an hour. It offers a quiet, accessible point of support for people connected with the hospital, whether patients, staff or visitors, who share a desire to stop drinking, alongside others from the wider Bangor area. As a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery rather than open to onlookers, which suits the more private setting of a hospital chaplaincy. The venue is wheelchair accessible, reflecting its use as part of a hospital site. Attendance chits are available for anyone needing written proof for a court, probation officer or treatment provider. There is no charge and nothing to book in advance, simply arrive before half past ten.
