About this meeting

Preston St Wilfrid's Afternoon is one of the few daytime meetings in central Preston, held every Thursday at 2pm in the Parish Rooms of St Wilfrid's Church on Chapel Street, right in the city centre. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone may attend — including people supporting a drinker — and it runs for an hour and a half. The Parish Rooms are wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system for those who need attendance evidenced. City-centre location, afternoon hour, level access: this meeting removes about as many barriers as a meeting can.
