The national u3a organisation is a UK-wide collection of 1000+ charities, of which Woodspring is one, that provide the opportunity for those no longer in work to come together and learn for fun. There are currently around 400,000 members.

Visit the website at www.u3a.org.uk for an overview of what they offer; setting up an account is easy and free of charge although there may be costs associated with some of the opportunities on offer:

• Local Learning Groups
• Learn Online
• Interest Groups Online
• Sources Blog
• Radio Podcast
• Events and Workshops

Please note that local u3as, such as Woodspring, and Interest Groups Online are separate membership options. You can join one or both, it’s up to you.
