We’re a vibrant and welcoming community of local people who enjoy lifelong learning.
Chiltern u3a (Cu3a) is part of a national network of u3as founded more than 40 years ago. After 26 years of learning, laughing and living in and around the Amersham area, Cu3a is still going strong with around 1550 members and over 100 interest groups.
Self-help is at u3a’s core – an organisation run for and by our members.
There are many opportunities for members to make their own contribution to its success. The organisation only survives if there are people who are prepared to use their own time, skills and aptitudes to make it work; making your own membership even more rewarding and enjoyable.
Our groups cover a huge range of interests including fun indoor and outdoor activities organised by our members for our members.
Our purpose is to offer a wide variety of physical, intellectual and artistic activities as well as opportunities to get out, meet new people and enjoy a varied social life. We don’t offer formal courses, or any degrees or diplomas.
Find out more about all the groups and activities available, from sport, board games and crafts, to computers, film, history and walking.
