On Monday nights, Heywood's Alcoholics Anonymous group meets at 7.30pm at Heady Hill Community Centre on Whalley Road, running for an hour and a half. It bookends the week with the town's Thursday meeting at Sandon House, so nobody in Heywood is ever more than a few days from a local meeting. This is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; if you are coming along to support someone or to learn about AA professionally, an open meeting elsewhere in the area is the right choice. The community centre is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge, no booking and no paperwork.
Can I attend if I am still drinking?
Yes. The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. Plenty of people arrive at their first meeting having drunk that day. You will be met without judgement.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes, Heady Hill Community Centre on Whalley Road is listed as wheelchair accessible. The meeting runs from 7.30pm to 9pm on Mondays.
What will it cost me?
Nothing. AA meetings are free, funded by members' own small voluntary contributions. There is no booking system; you simply turn up.
