The Tuesday morning meeting at St Vedast (next to St Pauls Cathedral) will run as usual on Christmas Day, but at a slightly later time from 08.00 until 09.00am. See here.
This allows people to gather before starting their Christmas Day. It also offers a meeting space at what can be a stressful and possibly triggering time of year in many ways, financial and emotional.
As there is no public transport on Christmas Day, Stuart will act as a point of contact for those who would like to come who do not have their own transport. If anyone is able to offer lifts please let him know. For clarity, they cannot guarantee availability of transport for you but will help co-ordinate journeys where it is possible. Please email stuartdoes12steps@gmail.com

If we come to Debtors Anonymous with unsecured debt we often feel in chaos and fear around it. It does not matter how much we owe, it is the impact on our lives that is often destructive and damaging.
In this workshop will look at how we chose to communicate with our creditors, the calculation of our repayment schedule and the pace at which we reduce our debt.
We will use handouts and DA literature as well as share our experience strength and hope. In the spirit of our recovery we will affirm our commitment to making amends whilst never neglecting our own self care and needs.
Closures / non-closures of meetings over the Christmas and New Year holiday period are indicated on the meetings lists where we have been informed. See here. If you wish to add information, contact webmaster [AT] debtorsanonymous.org.uk
