Longstone/Slateford Church on Kingsknowe Road North hosts a closed AA meeting on Wednesday mornings at 11am, running for an hour and a half and serving members across Longstone, Slateford, Balerno, Currie and Juniper Green in the south-west of the city. The wider catchment reflects how few meetings run in this part of Edinburgh compared with the centre, making this a useful anchor point for members further out. Attendance is for those with a desire to stop drinking, in keeping with the closed meeting format, and newcomers are included in that welcome. The church has wheelchair access, so the venue should suit members with mobility needs.
Who is this meeting for?
This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Newcomers are welcome as long as that describes them, including people early in sobriety or simply exploring whether AA is for them.
Is there a fee, and do I need to book?
There is no charge and no booking system. You can turn up on the day without contacting anyone beforehand. A basket is usually passed round for voluntary donations to cover the room hire, but paying is never a condition of attending.
Is the church wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Longstone/Slateford Church building on Kingsknowe Road North has wheelchair access.
