About this meeting

Portslade Child Friendly does something many meetings cannot: it welcomes parents with babies and small children, removing one of the biggest practical barriers to getting help. It meets on Wednesday mornings at 10.30am at South Portslade Community Centre on Church Road, Brighton, and lasts an hour. The meeting is closed, which is AA shorthand for a meeting held for people who have a desire to stop drinking; it does not mean you need any label or diagnosis to walk in, and newcomers are welcome. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking, and the same child-friendly meeting also runs on Thursday and Friday mornings at the same time and place.

Common questions

Can I really bring my children?

Yes. This meeting is specifically child friendly, so parents can attend with babies and small children rather than having to arrange childcare first.

What does closed meeting mean?

Closed means the meeting is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, including anyone attending for the first time. Family, friends and observers are better suited to an open meeting.

Is the venue accessible and is there a charge?

South Portslade Community Centre is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking. The same meeting also runs on Thursday and Friday mornings at 10.30am.
