Welcome to Wakefield and District u3a
We are a self-help, mutual-aid community for people who are no longer in full-time employment and who share similar interests
Retirement is your time so take the opportunity to keep active in mind and body and join in educational, creative and leisure opportunities in a friendly environment.
Meet others who enjoy the same interests as you, help each other learn, or try out new interests.
You don’t need qualifications and there are no exams!
You may find yourself learning something, but equally you might find yourself teaching others about your interests, skills and talents
Just because you've stopped working doesn't mean you've stopped living, so have a look at our Groups page and if you don’t see a group that represents your interests, consider starting one (There is help and guidance available)
There is an annual membership fee to join Wakefield and District u3a and in addition many groups charge an amount per term to cover rent. Some groups meet in the Leader's home and have no term-fee and some groups meet on Zoom
(Wakefield and District u3a is a non-political and non-religious organisation)
By clicking the above link you will find all the current groups in Wakefield and District u3a, however there is always scope for new groups, new subjects, and in particular we would like to expand the geographical scope as most groups are clustered around the Wakefield area. If you are in other parts of the Wakefield District and would like to start a new group we would be very happy to help.
