About this meeting

Woodford Women In Recovery is a Friday lunchtime Alcoholics Anonymous meeting for women, held at 1pm at St Thomas of Canterbury Church, 557/559 High Road in Woodford Green, and lasting an hour and a quarter. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for those who have a desire to stop drinking; the women-only format offers a quieter, more private setting for anyone who finds that easier. Attendance is free and there is no need to book or be referred, so you can simply come along on the day. The group operates a chit system, so if you need attendance confirmed for court, probation or a treatment service, a slip can be signed. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed, so check ahead if that matters to you.
