About this meeting

Barking Lunchtime Step meets every Friday at 12.30pm in Barking Methodist Church on London Road, running for an hour and a half. It is a closed meeting, so it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public. Each week the group takes a Step in turn, giving members a steady way to work through the programme and share how it applies to their week. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which makes it a practical midday option in Barking. There is no cost and no need to book, and anyone who already knows they want to stop drinking is welcome to simply arrive for the start.
