WHO AND WHERE ARE WE?
The University of the Third Age (u3a) is a non-religious, non-political organisation that exists to provide a framework in which retired and semi-retired people from all backgrounds can get involved in helping to create, run and join learning-based activities. These improve our knowledge and skills, enhance our physical and mental well-being and keep us socially connected.
Learn about the National u3a organisation here.
South Solihull u3a is a lively and friendly group of over 150 members, from Knowle, Bentley Heath and surrounding communities in the West Midlands. We are always open to new members - for further information please contact us.
Our activities are organised by a committee drawn from our members.
Of course, we'd love you to join our u3a, but if we don't offer the Interest Group that you are looking for, or would prefer to join a group in a different location, there are many other u3as in the area. Have a look at the other u3as in the area. We also have a page advertising local events that might appeal to our members.

CORE MEETINGS
We invite all members to our monthly Core Meetings.
INTEREST GROUPS
The strength of our u3a is in its interest groups. You can find a full list of our groups Here.
Most groups are eager to welcome new members, and some are actively seeking to boost their numbers so please do consider joining one, or maybe more! Just contact the group's Coordinator to express an interest.
You can also help us grow by leading a group. A huge knowledge of the subject is not necessary, there is help from u3a Headquarters. If you are interested in starting a group please email our Group Coordinator - Helen Clarke.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
In addition to the activities of our Interest Groups, we also run a variety of social activities that are open to all members. Details will appear in the Diary and on the Social page

We take your safety seriously. Safety measures include:
* Production and implementation of various venue and activity risk assessments.
* Production and implementation of a Health And Safety Policy
