About the u3a
The u3a is an international organisation for retired and semiretired people providing educational, creative and leisure activities. Each u3a is made up of a range of interest groups where the members learn from each other - for the joy of discovery not qualification, in a friendly informal atmosphere. The success of each u3a is that they draw on the knowledge , expertise and skills of their members. Anything from Art and Languages to History and Ten-pin Bowling! The sky is the limit.
The members of our u3as come from a wide range of backgrounds and interests, so the variety of interest groups in our u3as is wide, with something for everyone. Get in touch with your local u3a. You'll be assured of a warm welcome.

Mae pob u3a yn cynnwys amrywiaeth o grwpiau diddordeb lle mae’r aelodau yn dysgu oddiwrth eu gilydd – er mwyn llawenydd darganfyddiad nid cymhwyster, mewn awyrgylch cyfeillgar ac anffurffiol.

Wales Regional Networks
A Network is a group of u3as that have chosen to work together. In Wales, we have four regional networks covering North, Mid, South and West Wales. Our Networks share information, ideas and skills, and can help new u3as get established within their area.
Wales Local Subject Networks
Subject networks provide a platform for u3a members to connect and come together around their interests. In Wales, the South Wales and Severnside Geology Group welcomes all u3a members irrespective of their level of knowledge of the subject.
Trust Volunteers and Subject Advisers
Help is available in setting up and running your u3a. Please visit the Resources page for more information.
