The u3a movement originated in France and extends worldwide. There are over one thousand individual u3as in the UK, all represented and supported by the Third Age Trust, which is an excellent place to see how diverse we all are, just within the UK. They also have a member link.

Virtual u3a

The Virtual U3A (VU3A), which went live in January 2009, is an online-only u3a, affiliated to the Third Age Trust. One of its principal aims is to provide the u3a experience for those who are rendered isolated in some way by circumstances or geography and unable to play a full part in a terrestrial u3a. More information is available at vu3a.org.uk, where one can apply for membership. Why not pay it a visit? And if you know of anyone who might benefit, please pass the information on.
