In order to help members at this time, the teams working on Share and Roundabout magazines have asked that all the earlier issues from 2020 should be shared with the whole of the Fellowship.

If you would like to contribute something to them, please consider taking out a subscription, or simply make a donation (members of the Fellowship only) to help maintain services from GSO. Details can be found here

AA Service News

PI Service News, April 2020: A guide has been put together by members of the Fellowship to help people make the most of Zoom, protect individual anonymity, and prevent the meeting from being hijacked. Download here

Call for stories: The coronavirus pandemic is affecting everyone, including those of us in Alcoholics Anonymous. How has your group or intergroup or region met the challenge to continue carrying the message to the alcoholic who still suffers in this difficult time?

Click here for some guidance on registering Online Meetings with us.

"A further word of warning: there are a few websites around claiming to offer AA Online Meetings but have no connection with Alcoholics Anonymous. Some may be genuine, but others may charge fees, while others will require you to download their software, which may contain malware. We strongly recommend that you avoid all of them and join an existing group (above) or create your own online meeting."

If your meeting has closed, please inform GSO, so that AA members from other areas can know what is happening in our area (and again when it re-opens)

A number of online meetings have been set up by members of our Intergroup. A list of all available meetings can be viewed further down the page.
For help, information, or to join a meeting, email vice-chair.tynen@aamail.org
These meetings are not yet registered with GSO, some general information about online meetings can be found here. There has also been some extremely helpful first-hand experience and suggestions offered by another fellowship. Please be sure to remain safe when online
- If you have set up a new online meeting, you can register it with GSO by email at groupinformation@gsogb.org.uk

The telephone service is in need of 12th Steppers who are willing to 'befriend' newcomers while it's not as easy to get them to meetings, please email secretary.tynen@aamail.org with the subject heading "Carrying the Message" for more information

  Scroll down and select 'Newcomers starter pack PDFs

To ensure the helping hand of AA continues to be there for the still suffering alcoholic with projects like the AA helpline, chat now and text services, prison visits, this website and other 12th Step work, please remember our 7th Tradition.

With meetings more or less completely confined to online resources for the time being, please remember that although online meetings require a fraction of the cost of renting a venue per month, continued donations would very much help maintain the fellowship as a self-sustaining entity.
