About this meeting
Practice the Principles meets on Thursday evenings at 6pm at Darbyshire House, a Salvation Army Lifehouse on Prescot Road in the Old Swan area of Liverpool, running for about an hour. It is a members' meeting, for people with a desire to stop using cocaine and other mind-altering substances, held face to face each week at the Lifehouse. The venue's role as a Salvation Army Lifehouse means the group meets within a setting that also provides wider support services, which some members find a useful point of contact alongside the meeting itself. Wheelchair access at Darbyshire House is not specified in our listing, so anyone with access needs is advised to contact the group in advance.
