Interest Groups Online

As part of the u3a movement, members generously volunteer their time and share their knowledge, skills and experience with the members in their groups. Some groups are more interactive than others.

If in doubt, give it a go. The more groups you try, the more likely you'll find the one you love.

• click here to see which groups you might want to try.

• To join a group, you must first be a paid member of Interest Groups Online. Annual membership is £12, covering the period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. If you join after 1st October, the fee is reduced to £6.
