Wimborne Methodist Church on King Street hosts an open AA meeting every Saturday at 7pm, lasting about an hour and a quarter. It welcomes anyone who wants to attend, including people with a desire to stop drinking and those supporting them. A chit system operates, so members who need a signed attendance slip for court, probation or a treatment programme can ask at the meeting. The church is wheelchair accessible, making it a practical option for those with mobility needs. As one of the few weekend meetings in this part of east Dorset, it gives people in Wimborne and the surrounding villages a Saturday evening option without having to travel into Poole or Bournemouth.
