About this meeting
At lunchtime on Fridays, the Bunhill Fields Meeting House on Quaker Court, near the City and Shoreditch, hosts an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting starting at 12.45pm. Al-Anon is for anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, whether or not that person is still drinking. This is an open meeting, so newcomers can attend without ever having been to Al-Anon before, and there is no need to bring the person whose drinking affected you. The session lasts an hour, giving members time to share over their lunch break. It is free, with no booking required.
