U3A is an international organization which seeks to promote active learning, research, community services and social activities to those  no longer in active full time gainful employment.  From this base it has grown since 1972 to an International organization with over 500 independent groups within the UK alone.

 The "Purbeck group"  is  based in the "Purbeck" area of Dorset and meets regularly in the  Swanage and Wareham area. 

 Purbeck U3A is affiliated to the International Organization and  actively supports a wide   program of activities and social events in the local area..  These programmes  are all supported from within using the skills, resources, and backgrounds of individual members.  The annual  subscription is just £16 and membership is open to all who  share  an interest in the aims of U3A.  for more information click on the buttons or NEXT
