Groups

One of the main benefits of joining the u3a is the opportunity to participate in our Special Interest Groups. We have a wide variety of interest groups running very successfully – you can use the list on this page to find out more about each one.

You must be a u3a member in order to take part in our interest group activities. This is essential to ensure that your participation in our activities is covered by the u3a’s insurance.

If you would like to join a Group or find out more information please contact the relevant Group Coordinator whose details you will find on the respective group’s page.

If you would like more general information about a group or are interested in starting a group contact the Group Facilitator.
