About Waterlooville u3a
Charity Number 1116807

Waterlooville u3a formed in January 2006 and has grown into a thriving organisation with over 950 members and growing. We are a friendly, informal group, offering a fresh approach to life-long learning. We organise a varied programme of creative, study, social and leisure activities with over 100 groups covering many different subjects. These are run by members who freely give their time, to share their knowledge and experience, and develop their own individual capabilities by learning from other members. We also hold sociable meetings with an outside speaker on the 3rd Wednesday afternoon of each month at Cosham Baptist Church and on the 4th Wednesday afternoon of each month at The Sacred Heart Parish Centre, Waterlooville.

If you would like to meet active and enthusiastic people who take a creative and positive approach to after work and family then you are likely to enjoy Waterlooville u3a and our activities.
