Benefits of joining u3a
Joining your local u3a is a great way to find and develop new interests and make friends in a relaxed environment. It doesn’t cost much to join a u3a near where you live, usually less than £20.
Reasons to join:
- Make a difference, stay active, keep learning and have fun
- Get out to meet face to face – learning together and making the most of life
- Access to online learning, training and resources to inspire you. Members can attend learning events and talks for free
- Meet other people with similar interests: learn new things and share your skills
Interest Groups Online
If you would prefer to meet people and learn together online, you can join Interest Groups Online (formerly called Trust u3a). Membership costs £12 per year.
Interest Groups Online is a platform for collaborative learning. It is an online community, bringing people together from all across the u3a movement and beyond. There are around 70 different groups that meet online across a wide range of subjects. Groups are interactive and vary depending on the needs of the participants.
Please note: local u3a and Interest Groups Online are separate membership options. You can join one or both – it’s up to you.
