About this meeting

On Thursdays at 8.30pm, an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting takes place at the Lough House room at Newtownards Hospital on Church Street in Newtownards, Co. Down. Al-Anon Family Groups is for people whose lives are, or have been, affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends. As an open meeting, it welcomes anyone affected in this way, whether they have been before or not. It lasts around two hours and is free, with no requirement to bring along the person who drinks. Newcomers are welcome without any need to get in touch beforehand.

Common questions

Who can attend the Thursday Al-Anon meeting in Newtownards?

Al-Anon Family Groups is for people affected by someone else's drinking, not for the drinker — partners, parents, adult children and friends are all welcome, and as an open meeting, newcomers can attend too.

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking is affecting me?

No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without the person who drinks ever coming along.

Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book a place?

Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive for the start time of 8.30pm on Thursdays.
