About this meeting
St Joseph's hosts this Monday-evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at 7pm in the Church of St Joseph at 15 Lamb's Passage, off Bunhill Row near the Barbican, on the Islington side of the City fringe. The meeting lasts an hour and is open to everyone: you might come because of your own drinking, because someone you love is struggling, or because you work in health or social care and want to understand what AA offers. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, and attendance is always free with no booking or referral needed. Wheelchair access at the church has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking in advance if you need step-free entry.
