About this meeting

Sunderland Lifeboat Multi-Group Beginners meets on Sunday evenings at 6.30pm in Farringdon Youth and Community Centre on Allendale Road, and runs for about an hour. It is jointly supported by several Alcoholics Anonymous groups and is aimed particularly at people new to the fellowship, offering a gentle introduction to meetings and the desire to stop drinking that brings people through the door. It is an open meeting, so friends, family and professionals are equally welcome alongside newcomers. A chit is available for anyone needing to show proof of attendance for court, probation or a treatment service. The centre is wheelchair accessible, and there is no charge and nothing to book in advance.
