Universities
of the Third Age (U3As) are voluntary self-help organisations
for older people not in full time employment. The
term University is used in the original sense of the word:
a corporation of people devoted to various group
activities, educational, creative and social, not
necessarily intellectual. Each U3A relies on its
members to participate actively, whether as group
leaders, group members or in sharing the social responsibilities
at corporate events, such as coffee mornings, addresses by guest
speakers or visits. All U3As are affiliated to the national
body, the Third Age Trust. |
