Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees are responsible for overseeing governance of the Third Age Trust, ensuring it is well run for the benefit of u3a members. The Board ensures full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and are supported in their work by a Finance committee and a Governance committee. The Board also works closely with the u3a Council to ensure the u3a voice is central to the strategy development process.

Trustees are elected by u3as nationally and are themselves u3a members.

u3a Council

The role of the u3a Council is to serve as an important link between the Board and individual u3as. It is responsible for actively gathering and reflecting the views of members on a wide range of issues, and for bringing forward ideas and proposed changes from the membership for discussion and action.
