Stroud u3a runs 55 groups around Stroud.

Stroud u3a brings together hundreds of retired and semi-retired people in and around Stroud. It runs a wide variety of group and social activities which help stimulate and sustain positive physical and mental health, where members meet other enthusiasts for their existing interests, help one another learn and practise, and try out new things. Established in 1989, it is a self-governing local charitable trust, one of hundreds of similar groups under the national umbrella of the Third Age Trust. Monthly drop-in coffee mornings are open to members and to anyone interested in joining or finding out more.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Stroud

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.
