About this meeting

Bethnal Green Newcomers is a Saturday morning Alcoholics Anonymous meeting aimed squarely at people new to recovery, starting at 10am at The Beehive, 305 Cambridge Heath Road, and lasting one hour. Newcomer meetings keep things simple and welcoming, with members sharing what their own first days were like, so walking in for the first time here is about as gentle as AA gets. It is an open meeting, so you can bring a friend or family member with you, and professionals are welcome too. The Beehive is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no booking; arrive shortly before 10am and someone will make you welcome.
