Upminster u3a is affiliated to the u3a movement as administered by the Third Age Trust. All u3a’s are based on the principle that members share their knowledge and experience with other members in mutual interest groups for the benefit of all members. Everyone is equal; there are not teachers and students nor organisers and participants
