About this meeting

This Thursday-evening meeting at the Church of St Joseph, 15 Lamb's Passage off Bunhill Row, is aimed at LGBTQ+ newcomers to Alcoholics Anonymous, offering a first point of contact for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people who want to stop drinking. It starts at 7pm and lasts an hour. Although the focus is LGBTQ+, it is an open meeting, so nobody is turned away; friends, family, allies and professionals may attend too. As everywhere in AA, the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, there is no cost and no need to book. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so check ahead if it matters for your visit.
