About this meeting
Handforth St Chads meets on Thursday evenings at 8pm at St Chads Parish Church on Wilmslow Road, next to the health centre, and runs for an hour and a quarter. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so the welcome extends beyond people who want to stop drinking to family members, friends and professionals who would like to see the fellowship first hand. Handforth is well served by AA, with meetings at St Mary's Methodist Church on other nights, and this Thursday gathering adds a second venue on the same road. Attendance is free and no booking is taken. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed at St Chads, so it is worth checking before you travel if you need it.
