About this meeting

Bethesda Afternoon Group is an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting held every Thursday at 2pm, at Bethesda Methodist Church, Great Norwood Street in Cheltenham. Anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking is welcome to consider themselves a member, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, and no one else needs to be present. This is an open meeting, so you are welcome to come along even if you are new to Al-Anon or still unsure whether it is right for you. It lasts around an hour, ending at approximately 3pm; there is no booking system, so you can simply arrive and take a seat.

Common questions

Is this only for family members, or can friends attend as well?

Both. Al-Anon welcomes partners, parents, adult children and friends alike, anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking, and no one needs to be a blood relative to belong.

Do I need to book a place, and is it free?

There is nothing to book and nothing to pay. Al-Anon Family Groups meetings are free to attend and open access, so you can simply turn up.

What time does the meeting finish?

The meeting begins at 2pm and lasts roughly an hour, so it wraps up at approximately 3pm.
