Stafford

Welcome to Stafford u3a

Stafford u3a was launched in March 2006. We now have over forty activity groups all of which are led by u3a members who share their knowledge, experience and skills with others.

Most groups meet during the day at a variety of venues in Stafford and surrounding villages, sometimes in members' homes with new groups constantly being set up. There are also monthly meetings, open to everyone, which feature visiting guest speakers covering a wide range of topics. There is no limit to the number of groups members can join.

For more details see our Groups and our News and Events pages.

The annual membership fee is £11 per person (1st April 2024 - 31st March 2025). There is also a fee of £1 for each group session attended, £2 for the monthly meeting.

If you would like to become a member of Stafford u3a please send a message to Membership Secretary and they will get back to you.

If you need any further information please send a message to Admin and we will get back to you or you are welcome to telephone us on 01785 593039.

The u3a is a learning self-help group of people no longer in full-time employment which enables members to share many educational, creative and leisure activities. It was brought to the UK in 1982 and now there are over 1000 autonomous groups, supported by a national body, the Third Age Trust. There is no lower age limit for membership - anyone who has passed the first age of childhood and the second age of full time employment is welcome, even if working part time. No qualifications are needed to join and none are given.
