Wokingham
U3A, a registered charity (No 1049995), was first established in
early 1991 by a group of enthusiasts, and is a member of the Third Age
Trust. The very first meeting to get the U3A up and running was on 28th
August 1990; this led to a steering group being formed on 9th October
and the first ever monthly meeting (which is what it was referred to
as) on 15th January 1991.
Wokingham
U3A receives no direct funding from Central or Local Government. We
are financially independent and rely solely on our members' subscription
income. Lecturers, guest speakers and administrative staff all give
their services for expenses only.
