In the charity's own words

U3A provides Public Benefit by facilitating continuing education and social welfare to older people no longer in full-time employment. This is achieved by forming small, interactive groups of people with common or related interests who meet in each others homes, by organising general, monthly meetings with expert presenters on a wide range of subjects and by running trips to places of interest.
