About this meeting

Heywood's Thursday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous starts at 7.45pm at Sandon House Community Centre on Taylor Street and runs for an hour and a half, finishing at 9.15pm. It is one of two weekly meetings in the town, alongside the Monday night meeting at Heady Hill. This is a closed meeting, which in AA terms means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone in that position is welcome to walk in, whether they have been sober for years or are still drinking and frightened about it. Wheelchair access at Sandon House has not been confirmed. The meeting is free, and nobody needs to book, register or explain themselves.

Common questions

What does 'closed meeting' actually mean?

Only that the meeting is for people who have, or wonder if they have, a desire to stop drinking. It is not private or invitation-only; newcomers in that position are its whole purpose.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Access has not been confirmed for Sandon House Community Centre. If you need step-free access, consider checking with the venue first, or try the Monday meeting at Heady Hill Community Centre, which is listed as accessible.

Do I need money or a booking?

No. The meeting is free and unticketed. Just arrive on Taylor Street shortly before 7.45pm on a Thursday.
