Third Age Trust

619 U3As and 167944 members sharing learning experiences. 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.

You can find a U3A near you by searching using our map or by county, town or post code. The contact number given is usually the membership secretary of the local U3A who will be able to give details of what activities there are in your local area.

This World wide U3A website was set up in December 1997 by Internetwork - a group of U3A computer enthusiasts - with the purpose of encouraging the use of the Internet for more effective communications and learning for U3A members in the UK. We aim to establish internet projects for our international contacts and to provide educational resources as part of a worldwide movement.
