02 Activities

What the charity does

The U3A members share their knowledge and talents freely with each other in informal learning interest groups. They create their own opportunities to learn in the ways that suit members best. As a result, members contribute to a wide range of engaging and stimulating interest groups in an atmosphere of mutual support and companionship. Members study not for qualifications but for enjoyment.
