Better known as 'U3A' it is a
self-help educational charity open to anyone no longer in full-time employment who wishes
to keep the brain alive and active after middle age by taking part in all kinds of
educational, creative and leisure activities. U3A consists of a nation-wide network of
autonomous bodies which are recognized for their contribution to adult education.
No qualifications are required; anyone who
shares our principles of self help learning can join. We believe that everyone in
the THIRD AGE has something to contribute.
