What is Slough u3a?
Is it for you?
Message us
Slough u3a is a friendly, active community for adults who want to stay mentally stimulated, socially connected, and enjoy learning new things together. Our members are typically no longer in full‑time work, but they certainly haven’t stopped exploring, discovering, or having fun.
We offer a growing range of local and online groups, covering everything from languages, history and science to walking, crafts, music, technology, and more. Many people join simply to enjoy our sociable outings, interest groups, and monthly meetings,
all led by enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers.
Whether you’re interested in learning something
new, sharing your skills, or simply meeting people,
you’ll find a warm welcome here.
❓ What We Offer
👉 Dozens of interest groups across a wide variety
of subjects
👉 Regular talks, events, and educational sessions
👉 Friendly social activities and outings
👉 Online talks and meeting (Via Zoom)
👉 Opportunities to share your knowledge and learn from others
👉 A supportive community of people who enjoy staying active and curious
Although several activities are free of charge we do ask you to Join Slough u3a in order to take part in our groups.
The u3a movement is one of the largest member‑led organisations in the UK. Our members learn together, make friends, and contribute to a vibrant community of lifelong learning
And in Slough — where only around 10% of the population is aged 65+ — staying connected matters more than ever.
💡 "Thinking of Joining?
New members are always welcome. You can join for
less than 35p a week, and your Membership Application Form is on the Join Us page.

A Community Built on Sharing
Slough u3a thrives because members bring their interests, ideas, and enthusiasm. We always welcome suggestions for new groups or activities, and we encourage everyone to take part in whatever way suits them.

➠ Monthly Meetings
Our regular monthly meetings are far more than an excellent talk by someone interesting and a cuppa. At these meetings Announcements are made, reminders are given, but far more importantly there is ample time to talk, say hello to someone new, maybe make a friend. We recommend all our members attend these meetings to keep in touch.
