Connect @ Castlegate is a Narcotics Anonymous meeting held every Wednesday evening at St Peter's Church Hall, tucked away at 4 Chapel Court off Justice Street in Aberdeen. Doors open into a speaker format, where one member shares their experience of recovery before the meeting opens up more widely. Running from 19:15 for an hour and a half, it sits close to the Castlegate end of the city centre, within easy reach of the harbour area. This is an open meeting, so anyone with an interest in NA is welcome, whether you're new, returning, or supporting someone. NA is a fellowship for people with a desire to stop using drugs, and the only requirement to join is that desire.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting, which means anyone is welcome, including family members, friends and professionals, alongside people with a desire to stop using drugs. If you're curious about NA or supporting someone in recovery, you can come along.
Do I need to book, and is there a charge?
No booking is needed and there's no charge. NA meetings are free to attend, so you can simply turn up on the Wednesday. The fellowship is self-supporting through voluntary contributions from members, but no one is required to give anything.
What happens in a speaker meeting?
A speaker meeting means one member shares their story of using and recovery for part of the session, which often helps newcomers hear how the programme works in practice. The meeting runs for around an hour and a half from 19:15.
