Burnley

Burnley's Friday lunchtime meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous starts at 12.30pm at Central Methodist Church on Hargreave Street in the town centre, opposite the former Blockbusters, and runs for an hour and a half. A midday meeting is a lifeline for shift workers, parents on the school run and anyone whose evenings are spoken for, and its central location makes it easy to reach on foot from most of the town. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family members, friends and professionals. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no appointment to make; you can simply walk in a few minutes before the start.
