DID YOU KNOW?


The concept of a place of learning for older and mature citizens, with more leisure time at their hands, was developed in France in 1972, followed by the creation of the 'Association Internationale des Universités du Troisième Age (A.I.U.T.A.)

The idea spread throughout the world. The first British 'Universities of the Third Age' - U3As - were formed in 1982, under the aegis of the Third Age Trust (T.A.T.) which became an associate member of A.I.U.T.A. There are now 700 local U3A groups throughout the UK, with a growing membership, in total numbering more than 200,000 men and women.
