About this meeting

If childcare is what stands between you and a meeting, Portslade Child Friendly is designed with you in mind. Held on Thursday mornings at 10.30am at South Portslade Community Centre on Church Road in Brighton, the meeting lasts an hour and children are welcome alongside their parents. It is a closed AA meeting, for people who have a desire to stop drinking, and being new, uncertain or out of your depth is no barrier at all. The centre is wheelchair accessible, which helps with prams and buggies as well. Attendance is free with no booking. Identical sessions run on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the same time, so you can pick whichever day fits around family life.

Common questions

Do I need to arrange childcare to attend?

No. This is a child-friendly meeting, so you can bring babies and small children with you. That is the whole point of the format.

Is it open to family members or professionals?

It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, including newcomers. Those supporting someone else are better suited to an open AA meeting.

How much does it cost and do I book?

It is free and there is no booking. Just arrive at South Portslade Community Centre before 10.30am on a Thursday. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
