Access
Before you go
Although we do not "technically" meet the wheelchair access regulations, if you are a wheelchair user accessing our venue would not be difficult, and is something that can be worked around.
About this meeting
Progress Not Perfection is an open Cocaine Anonymous meeting held every Tuesday at 7.30pm at Ipswich Community Church Centre on Wilberforce Street, running for an hour and a half. It welcomes newcomers, young people and LGBTQ members, and the format moves between the twelve steps and traditions, Big Book study, literature and speaker shares. Being open, anyone can attend, including family and friends of people with a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, and the meeting is described as child-friendly. The venue does not technically meet formal wheelchair access regulations, but the group says wheelchair users would not find access difficult and can be accommodated. There is no cost and no booking needed.
