On Sunday afternoons at 3pm, Chorlton Methodist Church at 12 Manchester Road hosts a one-hour Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the daytime companion to the church's Wednesday evening gathering. An afternoon slot can be a gentler way into AA for people who find evening meetings daunting or simply cannot make them, and the shorter one-hour format keeps things manageable. It is a closed meeting, for anyone who has a desire to stop drinking; family and friends who want to learn about AA should look for an open meeting in the Manchester area. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost, no booking and no register; you arrive, you sit, and you take what you need from the hour.
How long is the Sunday Chorlton meeting?
One hour, from 3pm to 4pm, which makes it one of the shorter meetings in the area and a manageable first step for newcomers.
Who can attend?
It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Supporters and professionals are welcome at open meetings elsewhere in Manchester.
Is it free, and is the venue accessible?
Yes on both counts. There is no charge or booking, and Chorlton Methodist Church is listed as wheelchair accessible.
