Wearside

WELCOME TO WEARSIDE U3A SITE

Wearside U3A, a member of the Third Age Trust was one of the first in the North East and is based in the City of Sunderland at the mouth of the river Wear. In the mid 19th century, Sunderland was the biggest shipbuilding port in the world and Wearside produced almost a third of all ships built in the UK.

The Wearside U3A is a self-help, self-managed, life-long learning co-operative. It was formed in 1993 and is a registered charity. We provide educational and creative opportunities for retired people or those nearing retirement age with associated leisure and social activities.

We have a monthly meeting for members on the second Friday of the month, when we congregate to have refreshments, sign up for activities for the coming weeks and enjoy a talk by a visiting speaker.
We meet at the Bangladeshi Centre, Tatham Street in Sunderland at 10.00 am until noon.

Annual membership fees are £15 per year effective from now and members pay £1 towards refreshments at the monthly meeting.
For a taster, non-members are welcome to attend the monthly meeting for a fee of £2 per session for a maximum of two sessions.
