About this meeting
Cheltenham Our Primary Purpose is held every Saturday at 6.30pm at St Michael's Centre on School Road in Bishops Cleeve, just north of Cheltenham. The meeting runs for an hour and is open, meaning anyone affected by drinking, whether their own or someone else's, is welcome to attend, including newcomers taking their first steps. Parking is available at the back of the building, reached via Pecked Lane and Churchfields. The centre is wheelchair accessible. As an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, it follows the fellowship's usual format of shared experience and mutual support, with no fees, subscriptions or sign-up required. You can simply arrive shortly before 6.30pm and join in, or sit and listen if you would rather not speak.
