About this meeting
A Clean Start is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting held every Monday at 8pm at St James Church on Stenner Lane in Didsbury, Manchester, running for an hour and a half. Being open, it welcomes anyone, including friends, family and professionals, alongside people with a desire to stop using drugs. The format varies from week to week rather than following a fixed pattern, so no two sessions are quite the same. Pets are not allowed at the venue. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place beforehand, so you can simply come along on a Monday evening. Wheelchair access at St James Church has not been confirmed.
