📢 We're proud to launch the new u3a and me report.

More than 10,000 members shared their experiences to help us better understand the impact of u3a on learning, friendship, wellbeing and purpose in later life. The findings show the remarkable difference u3a makes to people and communities across the UK.

As we approach u3a Week, we're sharing some of the headline findings and the stories behind them.

Take a look at the report and discover what members told us about the power of learning, connecting and staying active in later life.
