About this meeting

Hackney Friday meets weekly at 6.30pm at St John the Baptist Church Hall on King Edward's Road, east London. Al-Anon Family Groups support people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, and the meeting is for them rather than for the drinker. Being an open meeting, newcomers, professionals and anyone wanting to understand Al-Anon can attend alongside regular members without needing to make contact first. The meeting lasts an hour and 15 minutes. There is no charge and no booking required; those attending can simply arrive a little before 6.30pm and take a seat, sharing or listening as feels right for them.

Common questions

Who is Al-Anon actually for?

It's for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children, siblings and friends, rather than for the person who drinks.

Do I need to book in advance or pay anything?

No booking and no charge. Al-Anon meetings are free, and you can turn up without letting anyone know beforehand.

Is it awkward to turn up on my own for the first time?

Most people do exactly that. The meeting is open to newcomers, and you are welcome to sit quietly and listen for as long as you need.
