Supporting the u3a changes lives

u3a is a UK wide movement of members who learn from one another, laugh together and live an enriched life.

We believe learning together with others can be life changing. Through shared learning experiences, u3as create communities across the UK whose passions and interests enhance each others lives.

Learning is at the heart of what we do, but we do so much more. Through our extensive programme of online learning events, our members come together from across the UK to take part in a range of activities - to practice Laughter Yoga, to discuss Family History and practice Mindfulness and more.

Supporting the u3a with a donation of any size secures our future. With your help we will continue to enrich the lives of our members, to expand our offering of online learning opportunities and to extend our reach. 

Together we can create a future where everyone has a community around them. With your support we will reduce loneliness and ensure everyone can learn, laugh, live.

"u3a has given my mother the belief to participate"

Debbie Towlson, daughter of Marlene Jones - Hayling Island u3a

Since joining the u3a, my mother has benefitted in many different ways – from meeting other like-minded, local people to trying different activities and improving her fitness.

She attends a monthly walking group in which they regularly complete 10-mile circular walks in all weathers! This has given her the confidence and level of fitness to participate in more challenging walks.

My mother and I have almost completed the South Downs Way with just one small section left to go. We also took on the challenge of walking part of the famous Camino de Santiago from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela in May 2022 which was such an amazing, unique and fulfilling experience.

Through her experiences with the u3a walking group, the u3a has given my mother the belief, fitness and expertise to participate in these truly amazing achievements.
