u3a - u3a and me assets for u3as

Downloadable tools and guidance to help your u3a share the impact of membership.

The u3a and me survey asked more than 10,000 members about the difference u3a makes to their lives.

The findings show that u3a helps people keep learning, build friendships, stay active, feel more connected and contribute to their communities.

It gives local u3as a strong evidence base to promote the value of membership with confidence: not just what u3a offers, but the difference it can make to people’s lives.

We have created a set of downloadable resources to help local u3as turn these findings into practical marketing and communications ahead of u3a Week on 19 September.

How to use these resources

Use the national findings alongside your own local stories, images, groups and events. The strongest communications will show both the offer and the experience. A list of groups tells people what is available; a story, image or quote helps them picture themselves taking part.

Use the assets to:

promote u3a Week activity
refresh your website or newsletter
create social media posts
support open days and welcome events
start conversations with local partners
encourage members to share their own stories.
