SLAA began in the UK around 1985 when a group of individuals started meeting at eachother's houses. 

In 2000, established members of our fellowship convened at the Duncan Terrace meeting room in Islington, London to set down a series of by-laws for the UK intergroup's future business meetings. A comprehensive history of SLAA n the UK with personal recollections from fellowship 'old timers' is currently being compiled. (2008)

Our 7th Tradition states that we must be fully self-supporting. Usually donations from groups are made quarterly at the time of the Intergroup business sessions. However, individual donations may be accepted at any time. Please contact our Treasurer at treasurer@slaauk.org for further details.
