Orton's meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous serves the southern side of Peterborough, gathering on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm at Christ Church, 1 Benstead, in Orton Goldhay. The meeting runs for an hour and a half and is open, so anyone is welcome to attend: people with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals alike. The church has wheelchair access, and the group operates a chit system, so if you need signed evidence of attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme, a member can provide it. As with every AA meeting there is no cost and no booking; arriving a few minutes early gives someone the chance to welcome you and find you a seat.
