About this meeting
The Manchester Women's Meeting is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting for women, held every Thursday at 6pm in the Main Meeting Room at Withington Library on Wilmslow Road, and running for an hour and a half. Being open, it also welcomes female friends, family and professionals alongside women with a desire to stop using drugs. Entry is through the library's main door, where meet and greeters are on hand to help; if the meeting has already started, there is a number on the poster attached to the door to text for entry. There is a break during the session, and while there is no formal creche, the group will try to accommodate anyone who needs to bring children. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and pets are not allowed.
