About this meeting

Shirley, Solihull is where you will find a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting, on Thursdays at 7.30pm, at Shirley Methodist Church, 257 Stratford Road. Al-Anon Family Groups is for anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else's drinking, whether that is a partner, a parent, an adult child, a sibling or a friend. This is an open meeting, so anyone with a connection to the situation, including newcomers still deciding whether Al-Anon is for them, is welcome to attend. The meeting runs for around an hour and a half. Attendance is free and nobody needs to book ahead, so you can just turn up shortly before 7.30pm.

Common questions

Can anyone attend this meeting?

It is for family members and friends affected by another person's drinking, rather than for the drinker. That covers partners, parents, grown-up children and close friends. Because this is an open meeting, anyone with a connection to the situation can come along, including on a first visit.

Does the person who drinks need to come with me?

No. The meeting is for you, in your own right, and many people attend entirely on their own. The person whose drinking has affected you never needs to come along, and does not even need to know you are going.

Is there a cost, or do I need to book a place?

No cost and no registration are involved. Arrive for 7.30pm on Thursday, and you are free to leave whenever you need to as well. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half.
