About the role of Group Leader
The role varies from group to group and should be a collaborative effort – run by members for members is the u3a way. It is, therefore, for individual groups to decide how they are best run and led.

The group leader is normally the contact point for members. Other responsibilities may include:

  • planning meetings and ensuring rooms are booked;
  • promoting the group;
  • ensuring information about the group, website newsletter etc, is up to date and accurate;
  • leading meetings – input may vary depending on the type of group; and
  • collecting payment from those attending and posting it to the Treasurer.

Role of Group Leader Co-ordinator
The Co-ordinator:

  • acts as a two-way link between Group Leaders and the Trustee Committee;
  • provides support as necessary, in particular for new Group Leaders; and
  • convenes meetings of Group Leaders, usually twice a year or more.

Group Leaders can contact Cath Robinson, our Group Leader Co-ordinator, by phone on 07951 036055 or by sending a message to Group Leader Co-ordinator
