About this meeting

The Old Street Recovery Group holds a newcomer-focused speaker meeting on Friday evenings at Betty Brunker Hall, 152 Lever Street, the community hall behind the small park. Doors open at 5.45pm and the meeting begins at 6.15pm, running for an hour and a quarter. The speaker format means you can simply listen while a member shares their experience, which many people find an easier way in than being expected to talk. It is an open meeting, so friends, family members and professionals are welcome as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The hall is wheelchair accessible, and as with all AA meetings there is no charge and no booking; just come along.
