U3A Redlands

Shining a Light on Learning

U3A Redlands is part of an international organisation that provides opportunities for people who are no longer working full-time to come together to learn, volunteer, continue their interests, and take up new pursuits. There are no exams nor homework, just regular classes. It’s learning for fun, not with the goal of achieving a qualification.

Who can attend U3A classes?
There are no age limits but U3A is designed for people who no longer work full-time – retired or semi-retired. For this reason, most members are aged 50 and over.

Where are U3A classes held?
U3A aims to be as accessible as possible – classes are held in various locations throughout the Redlands such as a community hall, church or library.

What can I learn in a U3A class?
There’s a wide range of courses ranging from Languages, Music, Cards, Games, Writing, Book Clubs, Physical Activities, Meditation, Computing, Travel, Art and Craft, and a Lecture Series.  Each class group has its own volunteer leader or co-ordinator who has a particular interest or expertise in the subject.

How much does a U3A class cost?
Annual membership at U3A Redlands is $40 for an individual and $75 for a couple. Each class may have additional minimal fees for consumables or venue hire. Fees are usually much lower than those of most adult education courses because we are run by volunteers.

Why join U3A Redlands?
Joining is a great way to broaden your horizons, participate in fitness and lifestyle activities, and socialise with like-minded people – all close to home. Meet other people with similar interests: learn new things and share your skills. Make a difference, stay active, keep learning, and have fun.

We are currently undertaking a project to build our very own U3A Redlands Centre on land which has been offered through the Redlands Research Facility. To learn more about this exciting venture, or find out how you can support our organisation click the box above.

Our Supporters

We are very fortunate to have been supported by local businesses and organisations along with many individual donors and we thank them all
for their generous support to our Building Fund.

We would welcome other local businesses who could make a positive difference by supporting by way of corporate sponsorship or support in kind or product. This would provide us with greater capacity to continue our programmes to support the welfare of vulnerable members and reduce the disconnect/isolation experienced by many seniors in the Redlands District.
