Why join the u3a?

If you are retired or semi-retired, Falkirk & District u3a offers you opportunities to make new friends, discover new interests and learn at leisure. If you live in the Falkirk area, including Grangemouth, Denny, Larbert and Bo'ness, you are welcome.

Self-Help Learning

The u3a is not a university in the traditional sense of the word; no qualifications are sought or offered, learning is for its own sake. Enjoyment and not an award is the prime motivation.  Falkirk & District u3a is about setting up local interest groups so that people can join with others to share similar interests.

Interest Groups

Interest Groups covering a wide range of topics are created by members for members. However, more will be developed in response to members' interests. Many of the Interest groups are running. Please contact the relevant Group Leader for further information.

For further information see About Groups

Mutual Aid

We are an autonomous and independent organisation, self funded through membership subscription. Falkirk & District u3a is affiliated to the Third Age Trust, which provides a national structure whereby u3as can co-operate, share resources and gain support.

Important announcement

Please note that monthly Open Meetings are now held in hybrid form: both at meetings where members can attend and via Zoom. Please look out for invitations, newsletters and Facebook for further information.
