We also extend a warm welcome to those living in the surrounding local towns and villages.
When & where?
Monthly meeting are held on the second Thursday of each month (except August) 2pm in Wesley Church, Saltash. At these meetings we have speakers giving talks covering a wide variety of topics and subjects, plus the opportunity to socialise with the many members who attend these meetings.
In addition to these meetings you can join many of the groups that we have on offer. Some meeting weekly, others fortnightly or monthly, so lots to fill your diary if you wish or just be selective, entirely your choice.

Third Age Trust (Third Age Trust website)
Third Age Trust is the national representative body for u3as in the UK, it is both a limited company and a registered charity. It underpins the work of local u3as by providing administrative support to to management committees and assists in the development of new u3as across the UK. Funded mainly by annual subscriptions paid by member u3as with the occasional grant for specific projects.
Every u3a is an independently managed charitable association with its own constitution. Membership of Third Age Trust (TAT) is a requirement in order to use the u3a name and logo, both of which are protected. Once registered and providing that the aims and guiding principles of the TAT are adhered to, local u3a’s are self-governing.
