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.
Can I attend Mare St Step as a newcomer?
Yes. Although it is a closed meeting, that only means it is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers in that position are entirely welcome.
What time does it finish?
The meeting starts at 7.30am and lasts one hour, so it finishes at 8.30am, in time for work or the school run.
Is there wheelchair access at the church?
Access has not been confirmed for Hackney Methodist Church at 219 Mare Street, so it is worth checking in advance if step-free access matters to you.
