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.
