About this meeting
For a daytime option in Basildon, the Vange Lunchtime meeting runs on Wednesdays at 1pm at Trinity Methodist Church, 481 Clayhill Road, lasting an hour and a half. Midweek lunchtime meetings suit people who cannot commit to evenings, and this one leaves time to be back for the school run or an afternoon shift. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone is welcome to attend, whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or are a relative, friend or professional wanting to learn how AA works. The church is wheelchair accessible. Attendance is free, there is no booking and no referral needed, and newcomers can listen without being asked to share.
