Fadu3a is run by the members for the members
Faversham and District u3a (Fadu3a) is part of the UK-wide u3a movement under the umbrella of the Third Age Trust (registered charity number 288007).
Founded in 1982, the UK u3a movement aims to encourage groups of people no longer in full-time work to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning subjects of interest to them. There are over 1,000 u3as with nearly 400,000 members; membership costs less than £20 on average per year and is open to everyone who’s not working full-time.
From the start, the guiding principles were to promote non-formal learning through self-help interest groups covering a wide range of topics and activities as chosen by their members. There is no minimum age, but a focus on people who are no longer in full-time employment or raising a family. u3a has members who draw upon their knowledge and experience to teach and learn from each other. A typical u3a will be home to many activity groups covering hundreds of different subjects - from art to zoology and everything in between. These interest groups provide a wide range of opportunities to come together to learn for fun and where members explore new ideas, skills and activities together.
