In a nutshell, U3A is a learning co-operative for "Third Agers" (retired people). Its objective is to be a university in the original sense of the word - a community of teachers and learners - sharing interests and enthusiasms. It has been found that there is a very real need for accessible and stimulating opportunities at the stage in life when people have a little more free time for self-development.
