Whalley Range

Whalley Range's Alcoholics Anonymous meeting gathers on Thursday evenings at 7pm at St Margarets Church on Rufford Road, in this leafy district of south Manchester. At one hour it is briefer than most local meetings, which suits people fitting recovery around childcare, shifts or study, and it still leaves the evening ahead of you. It is a closed meeting, meaning attendance is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who are quietly questioning their drinking; that is the only requirement, and newcomers can arrive without telling anyone first. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no register; people will simply be glad you came.
