Who we are

Gilwern u3a Formed in 2016, Gilwern u3a welcomes new members and ideas for increasing the number of groups open to all.

The u3a movement is a unique and exciting organisation which provides opportunities for retired and semi-retired people to come together to enjoy good company and to learn together, not for qualifications, but for its own reward.
