About this meeting
This Al-Anon Family Groups meeting is held every Wednesday at 12.30pm in Woodley, Greater Manchester, at Woodley Civic Hall on Hyde Road. The fellowship is there for relatives and friends affected by another person's drinking, not for the person who drinks themselves. As an open meeting, it welcomes anyone affected in this way, whether they have been before or not. It lasts around an hour and a half and is free, with no requirement to bring along the person who drinks. Newcomers are welcome without any need to get in touch beforehand.
Common questions
Is this meeting only for people who drink themselves?
No. Al-Anon is for relatives and friends whose lives have been affected by another person's drinking. As this is an open meeting, anyone in that position, including first-time visitors, is welcome.
Do I have to bring the person whose drinking is affecting me?
No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend on their own without the person who drinks ever coming along.
Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book a place?
Al-Anon meetings are free and there is no need to book. Just arrive for the start time of 12.30pm on Wednesdays.
