Who are we?
DA Intergroup is a service arm of the
Debtors Anonymous groups in the UK. DA and BDA members have found ways out of the pain and confusion caused by debting by
participating in the DA program. We want to tell others who are experiencing the same problems that there is a solution. The
DA Intergroup combines the resources of the individual groups to carry out projects that would be difficult for a single group
to achieve.
When and where does intergroup meet?
Intergroup meet on the
last Saturday of every 2nd month from 2-5pm. Meetings are on the odd months of the year (Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept,
Nov).
The location is Westminster Methodist Central Hall. Tubes: Westminster/St James' Park.
See map
here. The room we have for the next meeting is the John Tudor Room. We can decide on the 28th whether this is
an acceptable location.
Any DA or BDA member may attend and speak, but only group representatives may vote.

Donations to intergroup
Intergroup is funded largely through donations
from DA and BDA groups. It has been agreed that these donations (whether by cash or cheque) should normally be made at intergroup
meetings by the group representative, so that the donation is witnessed and recorded. Intergroup will accept donations by
post from groups outside London, although attendance at intergroup is always the preferred method.
