Our Groups – Shaped by You

The range and variety of our u3a groups are entirely shaped by our members—their skills, interests, and curiosity. Whether you want to share something you love or try something completely new, there’s space for you here. And it’s through these shared activities that friendships naturally form.

There’s no limit to how many groups you can join, and if you're considering becoming a member, you’re welcome to attend two taster sessions—either with the same group or two different ones. If you’d like to continue after that, simply join Wisbech u3a as a full member.

You don’t need to be an expert to start a group. What matters most is enthusiasm! Groups grow and evolve based on the interests and ideas of their members. If you have a passion you’d like to explore with others, speak to our Groups Co-ordinator or any committee member—we’re here to help you get started and support you every step of the way. Starting a group can be a rewarding experience, and we’ll make sure it’s fun too.

Wisbech u3a is also part of a wider support network. The national u3a organisation has over 70 subject advisers who can offer guidance on setting up and running groups in their specialist areas—from American Archaeology to Yoga. Their contact details can be found in each issue of Third Age Matters magazine or via the National u3a website (there’s a link on our ‘Links’ page).
