About this meeting

New Beginnings rounds off the week in Sunderland's Herrington area, meeting on Fridays at 7.30pm at Middle Herrington Methodist Church on Crow Lane for an hour and a half. True to its name, the meeting is a natural landing place for people starting out in sobriety, though everyone is welcome: it is an open meeting, so family members, friends and professionals may attend alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, so attendance slips can be signed as evidence for court, probation or treatment services. Attendance is free, and there is nothing to book or arrange in advance.
