ie Last Sunday of month 20.30 is an Open meeting This meeting also runs online — joining details are on the fellowship’s own meeting page
On Thursdays, Belfast East End holds a midday AA meeting at the Skainos Centre on Newtownards Road, one of several lunchtime sessions the group runs across the week. Because it is open, anyone can come along, not only people who have a desire to stop drinking themselves. The Skainos Centre is a familiar community venue in east Belfast, close to the heart of the Newtownards Road. Attendance is always free and there is no requirement to book ahead of time. If getting to the venue is difficult, the group can send a Zoom link on request by email. Wheelchair access at the centre has not been confirmed, so it is sensible to ask beforehand if you need it.
