"The Third Age " is the time after the first age of childhood and the second of work and family.
The University of the Third Age started in France in 1972 and in Britain in 1982. U3A's are self help, self managed, lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work, it provides opportunities for members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups, not for qualifications but for fun. There are around 600 groups in Britain. Each U3A is independent, self funding and governing, organising its own Programme to suit the wishes and interests of its members. All U3A's are affiliated to The Third Age Trust. Brecon U3A is one of a network covering South Wales and Severnside. It is a registered charity No. 1074288.
