About this meeting

This Al-Anon Family Groups meeting is held in Elham, near Canterbury, Kent, for anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking. It meets every Thursday at 11.30am at the Methodist Church Hall on the High Street, and lasts around an hour and a half. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome to come along, not just those who already consider themselves Al-Anon members. Al-Anon's only membership requirement is having a relative or friend whose drinking has been a difficulty for you, and members share their own experience of coping, rather than trying to get anyone else to stop drinking.

Common questions

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?

No. Al-Anon meetings are for you, in your own right, and many members attend on their own and never bring the person whose drinking has affected them. The only requirement for attending is that someone else's drinking has been a difficulty in your life.

Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book?

There is no charge and no need to book. Al-Anon meetings are free to attend; simply arrive a few minutes before the start time and take a seat.

How long does the meeting last?

The Thursday meeting runs for about an hour and a half, starting at 11.30am.
