u3a

Cheswick Green & District

The u3a is for people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising, and are no longer in full time employment.

u3a Members also benefit from being able to join any of the growing number of Interest Groups which cover a wide variety of subjects. Some members join the u3a just to be able to participate in our friendly Groups led by enthusiastic leaders.

Cheswick Green & District U3A was established in October 2012 and has rapidly grown to a membership of over 200.
