Isle of Wight u3a runs 35 groups around Isle of Wight.

Isle of Wight u3a is part of the UK wide u3a network, and its aim is to help members make the most of life once they are no longer in full time work by exploring new ideas, skills and interests and making new friends. It is a non profit charity run by volunteers, with nearly fifty active interest groups set up by members who want to share an interest, meeting in members' homes, village halls and wherever else suits. There is a monthly speaker meeting in Newport and monthly coffee mornings in Cowes, Newport, Ryde and Ventnor, all open to members. Membership can be taken out online, in person at a coffee morning or monthly meeting, or by post.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Isle of Wight

A local paper for your patch, delivered by email. Who's just started up, what's in season, when the markets are on, what's on this month, and the odd story about how a place like yours keeps its money close to home.

Good news, mostly. There's enough of the other kind about.








Just the district, TQ9, never your full address.

Your postcode does one more thing. It's a show of hands for your own patch. Every signup tells the bakers, growers and makers nearby that their neighbours are behind them, and that count is what convinces the next one to put themselves on the map. More of us backing local means more to buy, closer to home.

We haven't sent the first one yet. Sign up now and you'll be there for it.
