Handsworth Punjabi/English is a bilingual meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in north-west Birmingham, held on Thursdays at 8pm at Laurel Road Community Sports Centre in Handsworth and running for an hour and a half. Sharing happens in both Punjabi and English, which makes this a rare and valuable meeting for Punjabi speakers who want to hear recovery talked about in their own language, and for families where both languages are spoken at home. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including relatives, friends and professionals. The sports centre is wheelchair accessible. As with all AA meetings there is no charge and no booking; you can simply come along on the night.
