Interest Groups Online Groups

Interest Groups Online offers a variety of peer led, online learning opportunities for its subscribers.

As part of the u3a movement, members generously volunteer their time and share their knowledge, skills and experience with the members in their groups. Some groups are more interactive than others, with an expectation that all members take it in turns to present their knowledge.  If in doubt, give it a go.  The more groups you try, the more likely you'll find the one you love.

To join a group you must already be a paid up member of Interest Groups Online.  It costs £12 to join for the year, which runs from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024.

Once you have decided which groups you want to join, you need to log on to the Interest Groups Online u3a Members Portal on Beacon to join a group. Some groups are full, with a waiting list in place. We have listed below where a group has a waiting list. Do join the waiting list on Beacon and when a space becomes available, you will be contacted by the group leader and invited to join. We may set up an additional group to accommodate those on the waiting list.
