About this meeting

Woodchurch, Birkenhead hosts a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting on Thursdays at 7.30pm, based at Holy Cross Church on Church Road. The fellowship is for people who have lived with someone else's drinking - a partner, a parent, a child, a friend - and gives them a place that is about their own experience, not the drinker's, however that drinking has affected them. Being an open meeting, it welcomes anyone who wants to attend, whether a newcomer, a professional, or someone finding out what Al-Anon offers before committing to going regularly. Meetings last approximately an hour and a half, free of charge, with nothing to sign up for in advance and no pressure to attend every week.

Common questions

Can anyone attend, or is it only for existing members?

This meeting is open, so no one is turned away. Al-Anon Family Groups is for anyone whose life has been affected by another person's drinking, and first-timers are just as welcome as long-standing members.

Can I attend on my own, without the person who drinks?

No, not at all. The meeting exists for your own support, and it is entirely normal to attend alone; the relative or friend whose drinking affects you does not need to be there.

Do I need to book or pay to attend?

Al-Anon meetings are always free and there is no booking system - simply turn up on Thursday at 7.30pm. It runs for roughly an hour and a half.
