Getting there
About this meeting
Every Tuesday at 7.30pm, Al-Anon Family Groups meets at the Salvation Army hall on Canterbury Road in Folkestone, Kent. It is for anyone touched by a family member's or friend's drinking, whatever the relationship — partner, parent, sibling, adult child or friend. Being an open meeting, it is welcoming to newcomers as well as those who have attended Al-Anon before. Sessions last roughly an hour and a half; there is no cost and no need to book, and the person who drinks does not need to be there. Newcomers are welcome without any need to get in touch beforehand.
Common questions
Can I come if I'm not the one with the drinking?
Yes. This is an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting for people affected by someone else's drinking, whatever the relationship. It is an open meeting, so newcomers are welcome alongside regular members.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking is affecting me?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without the person who drinks ever coming along.
Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book a place?
Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive for the start time of 7.30pm on Tuesdays.
