About Minehead & District u3a

The Minehead & District U3A is an autonomous self-governing membership organisation, and registered as a Charity. The Group is affiliated to the national body, ‘The Third Age Trust’, (a lot more information is at the national u3a website). The National Office acts as an ‘umbrella’ organisation to the thousands of local U3A groups.

The Group only exists as a result of voluntary member engagement. Members pay a modest subscription. As a membership organisation, the members steer the direction of the Group. Our Constitution calls for an elected Committee, drawn from volunteer members. A committee member becomes a ‘Trustee’ of the Charity.
