About this meeting

Sittingbourne Beginners meets on Sunday evenings at 7pm at Bapchild & Tonge Village Hall on School Lane, just outside Sittingbourne, and runs for an hour and a half. Beginners meetings exist for people in their first days and weeks of recovery, so the discussion sticks to fundamentals and nobody assumes you know how anything works. It is an open meeting, meaning family and friends may come along too, which can make a first visit easier. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. There is no fee and no booking; arriving a few minutes before 7pm is all the preparation required.

Common questions

Is this a good meeting for my first time?

Yes. It is a beginners meeting, built around people new to recovery, and nobody will expect you to know how anything works.

Can someone come with me?

Yes. The meeting is open, so a friend, relative or support worker can accompany you.

Is there a charge, and is the hall accessible?

No charge and no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed at the village hall, so check in advance if you need it.
