University of the Third Age

About

University of the Third Age groups are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people who are no longer in full-time employment. They provide opportunities to their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups. The St Helens U3A was formed in September 2010, with the intention of involving local retired or semi-retired people to be able to go forward into a healthy and exciting future.
