• As part of a national organisation of u3a’s, we are people no longer in full-time work. “Learn, Laugh, Live” is the motto of the u3a Network!
• In Wyre Forest u3a we have a friendly and enthusiastic membership who enjoy coming together to learn and have a lot of fun.
• There is a wide range of groups and activities in our area which are open to all members. There is certainly something for everyone!
• Our Monthly Open Meeting is held on the third Monday of each month for members and visitors.
Do Something Brilliant Today
Retirement age and want to expand your life experience?
Want to meet like minded people?
Want to Live, Laugh and maybe Learn a little?
Want to be part of something bigger?
Want new challenges and friendships?
The u3a is a national organisation with close on half a million members.
It is designed for anyone who is retired or semi-retired and looking for new ways to meet people in their local area and who may be interested in gaining new skills or knowledge.
In the u3a we mostly learn from the huge resource of skills, knowledge and experience that already exists within our membership, and there is an awful lot of all three!
