Your local u3a
Finished with the 9–5 or family commitments? Now it’s your time to explore, enjoy and connect.
At our u3a, you can discover new interests, rediscover old passions, and—most importantly—have fun while meeting friendly, like‑minded people. Whether you love learning something new, sharing skills, or simply enjoying good company, there’s something here for everyone.
We’re a welcoming community run by members, for members. Everyone is encouraged to join in—whether that’s helping to organise activities, leading a group, or simply sharing ideas. It’s all about learning together, laughing together, and making the most of every day.
In this short film, we explain the benefits of becoming a member of the Basingstoke - Old Basing u3a

u3a beyond Basingstoke and Old Basing
Basingstoke - Old Basing u3a is part of a national organisation which offers online learning, online interest groups, a blog, monthly podcast, summer schools and more. There are links to the national u3a, and to some of the services that might interest our members, on our links page (on mobile, follow this link).
Volunteer?
As our u3a continues to grow, we want to ensure our community remains vibrant and well-run. To do that, we are looking for a few more friendly faces to help us behind the scenes. We are looking for members to volunteer for simple tasks that take the pressure off our core team, and a couple of new Committee members to join us in July 2026. If you’d like to get involved, please use the contact form or email volunteer@basingstokeu3a.org
