About this meeting
Newcastle upon Tyne's Al-Anon Family Groups meeting runs weekly on Sundays at 6.30pm, at St Nicholas Church Hall on Wardle Street, off Station Road. Anyone whose life has been affected by another person's drinking is welcome as a member, whether the drinking is ongoing, in the past, or has since stopped altogether; what matters is the effect it has had on them. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome to attend, including newcomers, professionals and people simply wanting to understand more about Al-Anon before deciding whether it is right for them. It typically runs for an hour and a half, free of charge and with nothing to arrange beforehand, so anyone can decide to come along at short notice.
Common questions
Do I need to be an Al-Anon member to attend?
It is open to anyone. Al-Anon Family Groups exists for people affected by someone else's drinking, and this particular meeting welcomes newcomers, professionals and visitors alongside regular members.
Do I need to bring my partner, parent or friend along?
No, not at all. The meeting exists for your own support, and it is entirely normal to attend alone; the relative or friend whose drinking affects you does not need to be there.
Is there a cost, and do I need to book a place?
There is no charge and no need to book. Just arrive at St Nicholas Church Hall for 6.30pm on Sunday; the meeting lasts about an hour and a half.
