The Salford u3a ethos

The u3a strapline is ‘by the members, for the members’.

We are a non-profit making registered charity, do not employ any staff, nor do we enlist professionals or teachers. We are a friendly organisation that depends on its members for everything: to run interest groups, to take their turn at leading walks or provide talks or organise group outings, to pass their knowledge on to fellow members, make the tea/coffee, offer a lift etc etc.

Without its members supporting us in these ways, Salford u3a simply could not function. In summary, everyone is encouraged to make as full a contribution as possible for the benefit of fellow members and the organisation as a whole.

To become a member of Salford u3a

We always welcome new members.

First decide which of our interest groups you wish to join; you can participate in as many as you like or have time for. Then contact each group’s convenor in order to gather more information and agree your first attendance. Please see the Groups page for a full list of activities.

Convenors will happily allow you to sample a couple of sessions before you make a final decision to become a u3a member.
