About this meeting

Mare St Step is an early riser: an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Monday at 7.30am at Hackney Methodist Church, 219 Mare Street, finishing within the hour so you can get on with the day. The focus is on AA's Twelve Steps, giving the week a structured, programme-centred start. It is a closed meeting, which in AA language means it is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; if that is you, the door is open and newcomers are welcome. Family, friends and professionals wanting to observe should look for an open meeting instead. There is nothing to pay and no booking; just arrive for 7.30am.

Common questions

Can I attend Mare St Step as a newcomer?
