Mirthy Broadcasts

We broadcast educational and entertaining online talks by the best public speakers for U3A Clubs and members across the country, today working with over 100 clubs monthly and delivering talks to over 14,000 retirees.

Our talks are viewed from the comfort and safety of your member's own home.

Mirthy broadcasts a FREE talk every Thursday which is open to your members to join (last week we had over 1,000 join us from across the country!). This is a great way for us to raise awareness of our speakers.

You may feel this is a good benefit to share with members to keep them socially active throughout yet another lockdown. Members can register for our free talks here - https://mirthy.co.uk/talks/
