**********

u3a has been known as the ‘University of the Third Age’. However, it was thought that this suggested formal learning at a high level. This is not what we are about. The strapline “ Learn, Laugh and Live” is now used to better describe what we do.

After spending years working or bringing up a family, we can offer you an informal way to LEARN by exploring new or renewed interests. We have over 40 special interest groups, covering a wide range of subjects from astronomy to playing ukulele.

All our groups and events have a strong social element. They offer a chance to LAUGH and have a good time.

There are also many trips and outings to choose from - visit our events page for details .
We offer many ways to get out and LIVE, rather than staying at home. Several of our groups are about wellbeing and keeping fit. Checkout the Groups tab.

Stourbridge u3a
As the name suggests we serve Stourbridge and the surrounding area, but wherever you live you are welcome to join us if you like what we do and you want to be involved.
Like all u3a branches, we are a self-governing and self-financing body, operating under the Third Age Trust. The Trust is the national body that provides our core principles and vision, as well as educational and administrative support. The Trust publishes a quarterly magazine for members called Third Age Matters.
