About this meeting

On Thursday mornings at 10.30am, Portslade Child Friendly meets for an hour at the South Portslade Community Centre on Church Road in Portslade, west of Brighton city centre. This Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is deliberately set up so that mums, dads and carers can bring young children rather than stay away, and it forms part of a run of identical meetings held every weekday morning at the same venue. It is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. The centre offers wheelchair access. Nothing needs to be paid or booked; you can simply arrive with the pushchair and settle in.

Common questions

Do children have to sit through the meeting quietly?

The meeting is advertised as child friendly, so it is set up with parents and carers in mind and children coming along is expected rather than merely tolerated.

Who can attend this meeting?

As a closed AA meeting it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. Family or professionals wanting to observe should choose an open meeting.

Is there a charge or booking system?

No. It is free and unbooked. The meeting starts at 10.30am on Thursdays and lasts an hour.
