WELCOME TO DEREHAM U3A
ABOUT OUR U3A
The u3a is a UK-wide collection of 1000+ locally run charities that provide opportunities for those no longer in full-time work to come together and learn for fun. Make the most of life and join more than 430,000 members exploring new ideas, skills and interests with the Dereham u3a.
It follows that there is no lower or upper age limit at which you can join the u3a.
We aim to provide opportunities to get together for enjoyment and entertainment and to share learning experiences in a wide range of specific-interest groups.
We have a monthly meeting with a speaker or entertainment, and refreshments, open to all members, and we organise outings to places of general interest. We pursue learning and new experiences; not for qualification, but for fun, using the personal experience of our members
We are one of the biggest u3a branches in Norfolk with over 550 members and over 35 groups. Each u3a is autonomous but follows the u3a ethos.
Members also enjoy a monthly e-newsletter free of charge, and regular updates between meetings by e mail and this web-site.
