About this meeting

The Friday edition of Portslade Child Friendly meets at 10.30am at South Portslade Community Centre on Church Road, Brighton, and runs for an hour. As the name says, this is a meeting where bringing your children along is expected and absolutely fine, which makes a morning meeting genuinely reachable for parents of young families. In AA terms it is a closed meeting, held for people who have a desire to stop drinking, and that includes anyone still working out whether AA is right for them. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. It is free to attend and nobody books ahead. The group meets three mornings a week in total, with Wednesday and Thursday sessions at the same time and venue.

Common questions

Can I attend with a baby or toddler?

Yes. The meeting is deliberately child friendly, so parents are welcome to bring babies and young children along.

Who is the meeting for?

It is a closed AA meeting, for people who have a desire to stop drinking, newcomers included. No referral, booking or payment is involved.

Which other days does this meeting run?

The same child-friendly meeting runs on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at 10.30am at South Portslade Community Centre, which is wheelchair accessible.
