GROUPS

 Currently, we have more than 100 groups at Barnsley u3a. Groups are what makes the u3a work - it brings people together with a common interest to share knowledge and learn from each other. The schedule of when groups meet may be found below.

Personal Health and Accessibility needs

You may have personal needs. We do our best to be inclusive so to assist in your personal needs, you should review the Wellbeing page where you will find personal health information.

New Groups

Despite having over 100 groups we are always happy to add more and if you feel that an area of interest is not represented, we (or you) can possibly start a new group. Support and advice for starting a group can be obtained from our Groups Development Officer,  Every new Group has to be registered using theGroup Registration Document so that details can be passed to members of the Executive Committee for approval, venues booked and paid for, a website group created, announcements and calendar set up. 

Lastly, it is not obligatory to join a group when you join u3a. However, we find that those who do join in find the experience uplifting and the social contact both entertaining and enlightening. Many members join several groups - there is no limitation, except time. As previously stated, a donation of £1.50 is made by each member attending an indoor group which requires a venue to be booked. This we call the Blue Box and it helps offset the charge for the venue.
