About this meeting

The same Gants Hill Methodist Church on Gants Hill Crescent in Barkingside hosts a second Ilford Barkingside Recovery meeting midweek, on Wednesday evenings at eight o'clock, again running for an hour and a half. Like the Monday session, it's an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking themselves or are there because someone close to them does. It also runs online alongside meeting in person at the church, with joining details on Alcoholics Anonymous's own meeting page, giving a second midweek option for anyone who can't make the Monday group. There's no charge to attend and nothing needs to be booked in advance; you can simply arrive on the night.

Common questions

Is this the same meeting as the Monday one at Gants Hill Methodist Church?

No, it's a separate weekly meeting held at the same venue, on Wednesday evenings instead of Monday.

Who is the meeting open to?

Anyone. It's an open meeting, so family, friends, and professionals can attend alongside people with a desire to stop drinking.

Do I need to book, or is there a cost?

No, it's free and there's no booking system; just arrive at the church before 8pm, or join online.
