U3AC is run by its members for its members, so many of the people you see working in our premises – such as our receptionists, course leaders and tutors – are volunteers, as are all the members of Council (Trustees). In fact, we have only four paid members of staff, three of whom are part time.
Although many members will have joined U3AC to take part in courses, all members are encouraged to commit to volunteering in one of the following ways. Click to find out more and then contact the Office to start volunteering now.

More established members may wish to consider becoming a Trustee (a member of U3AC’s Council) and be involved in running the organisation.

Vacancies for Trustees are announced in the December Newsletter, which also includes details of the Nomination procedure.
Please contact the Office in person, by email office@u3ac.org.uk or call 01223 321587, if you would like to discuss how you could be involved in making U3AC happen.
