About this meeting
Gamblers Anonymous meets in Bournemouth every Monday at 7.30pm, running for two hours at St John's Church on Surrey Road. It's an open meeting, so anyone affected by gambling can attend, whether that's someone with a desire to stop gambling themselves or a partner, parent or friend wanting to understand the fellowship better. Members work through the twelve steps and share their own experience in a confidential, non-judgemental space. There's no cost to attend and no need to book a place beforehand; just arrive a few minutes before half past seven and ask for the group when you get there. With two hours set aside, there's time for both newcomers and long-standing members to take part.
