About this meeting
Salford How It Works meets on Thursdays at 6.30pm at The Angel Centre on Chapel Street, near Salford Cathedral, and runs for ninety minutes. On the first Thursday of each month the format switches to a Big Book Study, so regulars know to expect a slightly different session that week. It is a closed meeting, for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to family or professional observers. The Angel Centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost to attend and no booking system, as with every AA meeting, so newcomers can simply arrive shortly before 6.30pm. Its position near the cathedral makes it an easy landmark to navigate to for anyone new to central Salford.
