About this meeting

Friday evenings at the Quaker Meeting House on Church Road are home to Colchester Feelings, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that starts at 7.30pm and runs for an hour and a half. It is an open meeting, which means you do not need to identify as an alcoholic to attend; partners, relatives, friends and professionals are all welcome to come and listen. The Meeting House hosts several AA meetings through the week, and this one benefits from the building being wheelchair accessible, with support also available for people with hearing difficulties. If the end of the working week feels like a risky time, having somewhere steady to be on a Friday night can make a real difference. No booking is needed and there is no charge.
