Learning Together for Pleasure

U3A stands for University of the Third Age. A U3A is a university in the original sense of the word: a community of people devoted to learning. 

We are a volunteer co-operative of older people who share many educational, creative and leisure activities.

Providing programs with the aim of reducing social isolation issues in people who may not have any other social networks.

This is a platform to provide the opportunity to share our many talents and skills, be it educational, physical or social, such a rewarding experience for elder community members to share their life long knowledge.
