About this meeting

Rainbow Recovery (LGBTQIA+ Friends) meets on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm at Cornerstone Café on Rainsford Road in Chelmsford. It is aimed at LGBTQIA+ members and their friends within the fellowship, giving a space where sexuality and gender are not something members need to explain or set aside while talking about their desire to stop drinking. It remains a closed meeting, for people with that desire rather than open to the general public, and the café setting gives the meeting a relaxed, informal feel compared with a church hall. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place in advance.

Common questions

Do I need to be LGBTQIA+ to attend

The meeting is for LGBTQIA+ members and their friends, so allies within the fellowship are welcome alongside LGBTQIA+ members themselves.

Is there a cost or booking system

No, it is free to attend and there is no need to book, you can simply come along.

Is Cornerstone Café wheelchair accessible

Yes, the venue is wheelchair accessible.
