Newarthill

On Sunday afternoons, Newarthill Parish Church on Benford Knowe hosts an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting starting at 3pm and lasting around ninety minutes. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for family members or professionals hoping to sit in. There is no fee and no booking process, you can simply arrive before the meeting begins. The church is wheelchair accessible. A Sunday meeting can be particularly welcome for anyone finding weekends difficult, offering a regular fixed point in the village of Newarthill near Motherwell where people can turn up and be part of a group working towards the same goal.
