General meeting at Cosham
Matt Wingett - Ten Years in a Portsmouth Slum
From his arrival in Portsmouth in 1885 at the behest of his Bishop, the Reverend Robert Dolling applied himself to missionary work in Landport. The slum he found was a den of vice, iniquity, drunkenness and violence. Over his ten years in Portsmouth, Dolling used unconventional methods to bring together a community, fighting with the Church authorities against depravity and vice to build that community.

Wednesday 23rd April
1400-1600

General meeting at Waterlooville
David Gane - Inside the Nudge Unit
David looks at the work of the Government's "Behavioural Insights Team" and how small changes, based on Social Science and Psychology, can lead to big improvements. Why did painting Copenhagen's bins reduce littering? How does a simple leaflet reduce speeding by 20%? And are those doctor's appointment reminders saying "500 missed appointments last month" making matters worse instead of better?

 

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.
