Dulwich & District

Welcome to Dulwich & District u3a

Are you retired or semi-retired and with some free time? Have you always wanted to play a ukulele or brush up your language skills? Or explore diverse exhibitions and cultural events? Or perhaps learn bridge, pick up a golf club or explore your family tree? Look no further!

Over 900 people from Dulwich and surrounding areas have joined the Dulwich & District u3a. With over 100 groups there are plenty of opportunities to try a new pastime, enjoy cultural activities, listen to stimulating talks, take part in outdoor activities, and more - and in the process, meet others with similar interests and make new friends!

"u3a is one of the country’s best kept secrets!" Many people don't hear about it until they retire, or when their friends or family tell them about it.  Their reaction is often the same: "What a wonderful idea - I wish I'd known about it sooner!"

Neil Abrahams, Chair (2026)

"Dulwich & District u3a is a welcoming, volunteer-led community for people no longer in full-time work who would like to continue learning, stay active, and meet others with shared interests. At its heart are curiosity, connection, and shared enjoyment."

Finola Stack, Vice-Chair (2026)

Dulwich & District u3a - What does the u3a do? Where does it do it?

The u3a nationally – a little bit of history about a 400,000 strong UK-wide organisation!
