Group Details For u3a Group Support Workshop

A half‑day workshop for anyone involved in groups — current Group Leads, people who already help out, and members who’ve thought they might like to do a bit more one day. It’s also for anyone curious about how groups keep going and how new ideas turn into successful groups.

Please keep the date free:

📅 9.00am, Friday 6th March at The Galtres Center

A full invitation with details will follow.

 Introduction

u3a groups only work because people quietly help them along — sharing ideas, lending a hand, and supporting each other. You don’t need to be an expert, and you don’t need to do everything yourself. Most Group Leads are really co‑ordinators, helping groups run smoothly and encouraging shared learning.

Brief Overview

Helping u3a Groups to Keep Going

This informal workshop will explore:

• How groups stay healthy and enjoyable
• Sharing roles so no one feels overloaded
• Planning for continuity so groups don’t rely on one person
• Supporting new Group Leads so no one feels on their own
• How new group ideas can grow naturally

It’s not training and it’s not recruitment — just a chance to share experiences, pick up practical ideas, and support each other. Because u3a groups thrive when everyone helps a little.
