Our TWu3a Interest Groups are open to TWu3a members who have paid their year’s subscription (September 2025 – August 2026)
All of our groups are run by members who have volunteered to take on the role of sole or joint contact. Interest groups are formed by members with similar interests who get together in person, online, by telephone or email.
Some groups may be full. Don’t give up! We have an Interest Groups Admin Team so please contact them contact them via our Interest Groups Coordinator, who can help you find out if there are enough interested members to start a new group and promote it in the newsletter.
Maybe you couldn’t find a group that you hoped to see on the list? Then why not offer to start a new group? See the TWu3a group guidelines. For an annual fee of £12 you can join one of the national u3a online interest groups listed here.
Interest Group Contacts
Group contacts and those who assist them are the lifeblood of the u3a. Whether you are an established or a new group contact, it is important that you fully understand your role and responsibilities, so you are encouraged to take a look here for guidance and support. Want to get more out of your Group page? Contact the Website Manager.
