Charities that use Wesley Church High Wycombe
Alcoholics Anonymous [Sat, 12:30-14:00]
Alcoholics Anonymous, or AA, is a community of people who come together with one aim: to stay sober, and help other alcoholics seeking help to stop drinking.
AA is not connected with any sect, social, religious, or political organisation or institution. It does not endorse or oppose any cause. Our only concern is to help people who have a problem with alcohol.
AA works by members coming together to share their experience, strength, and hope to support each other to stay sober and recover from alcoholism.
It doesn’t cost anything to attend AA meetings. To be a member, all that’s required is a desire to stop drinking.
One Can Trust (Clothing Bank) [Fri, 08:00-12:00]

In more recent times, we have set up a very successful Community Support Team offering advice, a clothes bank, toddler groups and a community café. We also provide much needed funding for a school meals programme for children who are not eligible for free school meals.
