u3a 40th Anniversary Blog

The August edition of the u3a radio podcast features Third Age Trust Chief Executive, Sam Mauger, where she talks about some of the highlights of the 40th Anniversary year and what we still have to look forward to.

In the episode, Sam says, “Around the UK, u3as are back out and back out as a prescence and that has been a huge testament to that feeling of community in u3as, and that feeling of what are we going to do next, how are we going to continue doing new things.

“ The 40th Anniversary has been a great opportunity to coalesce everybody around reemergence and starting again and recognizing that 40 year experience that we’ve had.”

Sam continues, “We’re a movement of doers, a movement of people who get things done. The u3a movement this year has shown that I think. We’re back out there, we’re celebrating our 40 years and we’re looking to the future,”
