Barnsley u3a have recieved an Age Friendly award for their work bringing social and learning opportunities to older adults in their community.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Barnsley u3a have been finding ways for their members to stay connected, with around 70 Zoom groups meeting every month.

Chair of Barnsley u3a, Alan Swann, said, “Barnsley u3a is proud to receive this award which recognises the work that we do in promoting the need for older people to continue learning, undertaking leisure activities and ensuring regular social interaction after retirement."

 “We don’t do what we do to win awards but it is gratifying to realise that others recognise the benefits of what we do for older people in the Barnsley area.”

u3a is a self-help organisation in which people no longer in full-time work learn and socialise together. Join us.
