About this meeting
On Wednesdays at 6pm, St Gabriel's Church Hall on 1 St Gabriel's Avenue in Sunderland opens its doors for a Gamblers Anonymous meeting. Because it is an open meeting, there is no need to be a Gamblers Anonymous member to attend; family, friends and professionals are equally welcome. A desire to stop gambling is the only thing Gamblers Anonymous asks of its members, and that is not a condition of attending an open meeting like this one. It lasts two hours. No referral or assessment is needed beforehand, whoever you are. Newcomers are welcome and do not need any previous experience of the fellowship. There is no booking system; newcomers can simply walk in.

Does it cost anything to attend?
No. It is free to attend, and there is no need to book or sign up beforehand.

It runs for two hours, starting at 6pm on a Wednesday.
