Thank you for viewing our special presentation! Wednesday 2nd June 2021 was National u3a Day - but any day is a good day to join...

Leicester u3a!

• Leicester U3A is for those retired from full-time employment (Third Agers).

• We are a community of people from all walks of life.

• We are committed to self help, life long learning, without distinction between teachers and learners; we are far from being a formal academic organisation.

• We meet in Interest Groups to share our hinterland of knowledge and experience. These groups are the engines of self help learning.

• We are non-political and a secular, but not secularist, organisation.

• We are always eager for new members to join us and we seek to be inclusive.

• Membership is open to all who are retired from full time employment, regardless of disability, race, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, gender, religion or belief.

• As a member, you will meet many like-minded - and perhaps some unlike-minded - people and you will make new friends.

• Join us by downloading the subscription form and sending it to the Membership Secretary, to whom enquiries may also be addressed (see also the Contact page). Before sending the form please click this link and read through the Terms and Conditions of Membership.

You will also find information on our website about:

• Monthly Meetings, where you hear a good speaker and socialise with friends (Events);

• trips and excursions (Events);

• members' coffee mornings (Events);

• a Sunday Lunch group;

• a monthly newsletter (Members);

• technical help: Digital Photography - Help; and,

• from the Third Age Trust, magazines, conferences, study days and summer schools (see Events and U3A Events).

Come along to one of our Monthly Meetings (2.30pm - doors open at 2.00pm, second Tuesday of each month, except August and December) as a visitor. We'd love to meet you there (Christchurch, 105a Clarendon Park Road, LE2 3AH).

A member of the hospitality team will make sure you feel welcome.

Or come as a visitor to one of our Coffee Mornings (10.15-12:00, third Tuesday of each month, Quaker Meeting House, 16 Queens Road, LE2 1WP).
