AL-ANON Family Groups are held every week in Darwen.

The groups aim to provide understanding, strength and hope to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking.

The meetings take place from 7.30pm to 9pm every Tuesday at Cafe Hub in Foundry Street.

Anyone who is concerned about the effects of alcoholism in a family member or a friend is welcome to attend and will hear people sharing their experience, strength and hope in a safe and confidential environment.
