If you are retired or semi-retired,the Falkirk & District branch of the University of the Third Age (U3A) offers you opportunities to make new friends, discover new interests and learn at leisure. If you live in the Falkirk area, including Grangemouth, Denny, Larbert and Bo’ness, you are welcome.
Self-Help Learning
The u3a is not a university in the traditional sense of the word; no qualifications are sought or offered, learning is for its own sake. Enjoyment and not an award is the prime motivation. We see no distinction between learners who teach and teachers who learn. Falkirk & District u3a is about setting up local interest groups so that people can join with others to share similar interests.
Interest Groups
Interest Groups covering a wide range of topics are created by members for members. However, more will be developed in response to members’ interests. Many of the Interest groups are running. Please contact the relevant Group Leader for further information.
For further information see About Groups
Mutual Aid
We are an autonomous and independent organisation, self funded through membership subscription. Falkirk & District u3a is affiliated to the Third Age Trust, which provides a national structure whereby u3as can co-operate, share resources and gain support.
