Sunday evening brings Handforth's open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held at St Mary's Methodist Church on Wilmslow Road from 7pm and running for an hour and a half. Because it is an open meeting, anyone at all may attend: people worried about their drinking, partners and parents trying to understand, adult children, friends, and professionals whose work brings them alongside people affected by alcohol. That makes it the natural first port of call among the several AA meetings at this church each week. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and nothing to book, and if your only aim this Sunday is to sit at the back and see what an AA meeting is actually like, that is welcome too.
Can family and friends attend this meeting?
Yes. Sunday's Handforth meeting is open, so family members, friends, professionals and anyone curious about AA are all welcome alongside people who want to stop drinking.
Do I need to book, and is there a charge?
No booking and no charge. Arrive at St Mary's Methodist Church on Wilmslow Road shortly before 7pm on Sunday.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. St Mary's Methodist Church in Handforth is listed as wheelchair accessible.
