What is the U3A?
The Third Age Trust is the national representative body for the Universities of Third Age (u3as) in the UK. u3as are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work, providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualifications, but for fun. Not only that, there are opportunities to enjoy a chat and a cuppa in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
