Welcome to Belper & District u3a
Belper & District u3a is a self-help, self-managed, lifelong learning co-operative, for people no longer in full-time employment, or raising a family.
It enables members to participate in learning, social and recreational activities, not for qualifications but for FUN!
Learn, Laugh, Live!
Belper & District u3a is a Registered Charity: No 1168551
What do we do?
- We host more than 80 activities groups, have over 800 members and are still growing!
- Open meetings for members and non-members are held from 10-12pm on the first Friday of each month at Strutts Community Centre, Derby Road, Belper. DE56 1UU. Please check the Events page for details.
- Prospective members are welcome to attend two open meetings, subject to capacity on the day.
- We aim to have a varied programme at these meetings – the majority have speakers, whilst others will be of a more social nature.
- During refreshment time, when a speaker has been engaged, you can chat to other members, learn all about the organisation, find out about and sign up to group activities and other events.
- Members can access a taster session of any interest group, with the prior agreement of the group's co-ordinator.
- A Newsletter is produced every two months, providing news on both local and national u3a issues and activities. A Bulletin is also produced monthly covering non-u3a matters.
- An AGM, which is for members only, is held in December.
- Our Membership year runs from 1st January to 31st December each year. For new members wishing to join part-way through the year the subscription will be reduced. See this year's Membership Application Form for details of subscription rates.
