About this meeting

The Quaker Meeting House on West Avenue in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear hosts an Al-Anon meeting every Friday, starting at 7.30pm, and lasts around an hour and a half. Al-Anon Family Groups exist for people affected by someone else's drinking, whether that's a partner, parent, adult child or friend. The meeting is open, meaning newcomers, visitors and anyone curious about Al-Anon can attend alongside regular members. Newcomers are not expected to say anything at their first meeting, and many people attend for some time simply to listen before they join in.

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 Friday meeting runs for about an hour and a half, starting at 7.30pm.
