Different sections of different books each week. The meeting format is that the first part of the meeting is a reading from NA literature and then opens up for sharing. Travel Comment: 5 min walk from station
This Narcotics Anonymous meeting runs every Sunday afternoon in Ancoats, Manchester, starting at 16:30 and lasting an hour and a half. It centres on NA literature: each week the group reads a different section from a different book, working through titles like It Works: How and Why and the Just For Today daily reader. The format opens with a reading, then moves into open sharing so members can relate the words to their own experience. Newcomers are especially welcome, and a timer keeps sharing fair. The venue on Piercy St is wheelchair accessible and has parking available. If you're travelling in, it's about a five-minute walk from the station, which makes it straightforward to reach from across the city.
Can I come to this meeting if I'm new to NA?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family, friends and those simply curious. It also has a beginner and newcomer focus, and the structured reading gives you an easy way to follow along before any sharing begins. The only requirement for NA membership is a desire to stop using drugs.
Do I need to book or pay to attend?
No. There is no booking and no cost to attend. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a small voluntary donation is passed around to cover expenses like room hire, but you never have to give anything, particularly on your first visit.
Is the venue accessible and easy to get to?
The venue on Piercy St in Ancoats is wheelchair accessible and has parking available. If you're using public transport, it's roughly a five-minute walk from the station, so it's convenient whether you drive or travel in.
