We are a member-led learning organisation for people who are no longer in full-time employment creating opportunities to:
- share our ideas, knowledge, experience and enthusiasms in a friendly atmosphere
- learn, laugh, get the most out of life and keep our brains active
- develop the fun and passion we have for whatever interests us
- meet up with old friends and make new ones
- be part of a community with local knowledge and opportunities in common
- find the inspiration for new ideas, hobbies and experiences
- no qualifications are required, offered or sought
Every interest group is managed by its members and meetings are very relaxed.
You can join as many groups as you wish and we positively encourage new groups which we will help you set up.
We have nearly 1,500 members, over 100 interest groups covering a wide range of subjects and a lively programme of social events – there are many ways to get involved.
There is no upper or lower age barrier and there's something for everyone.
