About this meeting
The Carlisle Hope Group meets every Wednesday evening at 7.30pm in the church hall on the right-hand side of St Bedes Church, on Wigton Road. Running for an hour and a half, this Narcotics Anonymous meeting mixes formats week to week: a Basic Text study, speaker meetings, and open sharing, with a steady welcome for beginners and newcomers finding their feet. It's ordinarily a members' meeting for those with a desire to stop using drugs, though the first Wednesday of each month is open to all. Parking is available at the venue, and the hall is around a 30-minute walk from the station. If you're new to NA in Carlisle, you'll find people who understand and no pressure to speak before you're ready.
Common questions
Who can come to this meeting?
This is normally a members' meeting, meant for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. You don't need a formal diagnosis or a referral, and you're welcome even if it's your first time. On the first Wednesday of each month the meeting is open to all, so family, friends and interested visitors can attend that week too.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Just turn up on a Wednesday at 7.30pm. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a basket is passed round, but giving anything is entirely optional and never expected of newcomers.
How do I get there and is there parking?
The meeting is in the church hall on the right-hand side of St Bedes Church on Wigton Road, CA2 7ES. Parking is available at the venue. If you're arriving by train, it's about a 30-minute walk from Carlisle station. The venue is noted as wheelchair accessible.
