Support for u3as

Our document library is full of support, guidance and the legal documentation you'll need to run your u3a.

We run online workshops to provide training, support and information for u3a members.

They provide a great opportunity to learn, meet and exchange ideas with other u3a members, from topics covering how to run a u3a and being a committee member to interest groups, finance, contingency planning and more.

Networks are informal groupings of u3as usually local to each other.

Representatives from each u3a meet to share ideas, events, speakers, and training sessions, to discuss issues and to support each other.

Each year The Third Age Trust makes available a number of different types of grants to enable u3as, and networks of u3as, to raise awareness of the u3a movement and encourage the recruitment of new members.

Beacon is our easy to use membership database available for u3as to enable them to quickly and efficiently manage members, groups and finances. It has been specially developed to help reduce the workload of u3a committees.

The Brand Guidelines feature branding and publicity tools (images, leaflet templates and logos) and merchandise (caps, rucksacks and diaries) that u3as can use to promote the movement and attract new members. This page also links to our new u3a Brand Shop.
