What is Darlington u3a about?

u3a is a UK-wide organisation with more than 1,000 local u3as in many UK towns and cities. Darlington u3a is independently and locally run for the benefit of the people of Darlington and the surrounding area. The u3a national body provides administrative and educational support to all the u3as in the UK while our regional body, u3a Northumbria, also provides support, activities and events in which we can take part.

The motto of u3a is "Learn, Laugh, Live." - and that's what we try to achieve in Darlington by our members helping provide fun activities that often have a learning element to them. Enjoy!
