Updating Group Pages - Beacon and Website
All Group Leaders are responsible for keeping group details up to date on Beacon for GLs. The guide How to use Beacon has help on how to do this.
Many Group Leaders are now updating their own group's page on this website. You just need to let the Web Administrator or Groups Coordinator know and you will be given your own login name, so that you can quickly make any changes needed. Training can be offered and here is a Tutorial Guide for Page Editors.
National Resources
The Third Age Trust has lots of useful advice and resources available for Group Leaders. U3A members can create themselves an account on the National Office website to access these resources and some of the important documents can be found on this page.
There is a network of over 70 national Subject Advisers, whose role is to provide advice on both the setting up of a group in their particular specialty and the sustainability of ones already in existence, which may benefit from new ideas or a different approach.
