Islington Family Friendly

Tuesday mornings at the Garden Room behind St Mary's Church Community Centre belong to Islington Family Friendly, starting at 10.30am and running for an hour. As the name implies, this open meeting welcomes not just those with a desire to stop drinking but also partners, parents and children affected by someone else's drinking, making it a useful option for anyone wanting to understand recovery from a family perspective. The room is reached across the garden, behind Dansk Flowers, rather than through the church itself, and is wheelchair accessible. No hearing loop or chit system is recorded for this slot. The daytime timing sets it apart from most of the venue's evening meetings and suits those with school runs or shift patterns to work around.
