We are now in a National Lockdown and the Government Advice in all four Nations of the British Isles is:
- Stay At Home
- Only leave you home for essential purposes.
Find help to keep your members engaged while restrictions on face to face activities are in place. Scroll down below tables.
Whilst many U3As may initially have felt that the limitation imposed as a result Coronavirus would only last for a short time, it is clear its impact is going to be much longer term and that we will need to work collaboratively and supportively to keep the movement going.
In this section you will find various ideas on how to keep your u3a going during this time and to make you aware of the support and guidance that is available to you. There are links and information about video presentations and online tutorials to help you to use digital platforms and continue learning during lockdown. You will find ideas for running groups with limited face to face numbers and links to links to technology help and resources.
