All u3as in Wales are invited to join one of the four Welsh u3a Regional Networks.

Networks help to:

• establish a communication links for u3as within their Network and across the Region.
• provide mutual support, in good and bad times a Network facilitates contacts for u3a chairmen and committees to use for advice.
• provide support network for u3as that may be having difficulties, sharing issues and problems can be discussed and hopefully solutions can be found.
• encourage the development of shared minority interest groups across local u3as. They also facilitate the exchange of information across u3as and the sharing of good practice and ideas.
• extend friendships and social contacts by planning and organising shared events
• establish links with outside bodies that an individual u3a may not be able to do - sometimes the weight of numbers helps.
• encourage communication between u3as, which has become much through modern technologies such as the website.
