About this meeting

Bethnal Green Newcomers Step And Tradition meets on Monday evenings at 8pm at The Good Shepherd Mission, 17 Three Colts Lane, and runs for an hour and a half. The format combines a newcomer focus with study of the Steps and Traditions, so people new to AA hear the programme explained from the ground up while longer-standing members revisit its foundations. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family members, friends and professionals. The Mission, a short walk from Bethnal Green rail station, is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no booking needed, and newcomers can expect to be welcomed rather than examined.

Common questions

I am brand new to AA. Is this meeting suitable?

Very much so. It is a newcomers meeting, so the Steps and Traditions are discussed with new people in mind, and you will not be expected to know anything or to speak.

Can family or friends attend?

Yes. It is an open meeting, so partners, relatives, friends and professionals are all welcome alongside people concerned about their own drinking.

Is it free and accessible?

Yes. There is no charge or booking, and The Good Shepherd Mission at 17 Three Colts Lane is listed as wheelchair accessible. The meeting runs from 8pm to 9.30pm on Mondays.
