For people no longer in full-time employment, this can be a difficult time of year. As the days draw in and the weather becomes colder, life may seem rather dull. But with Croydon u3a (University of the Third Age) there is activity and good company all year round! 

Most of their outdoor groups run for 12 months of the year, including walks, cycle rides, and visits. There are also plenty of indoor activity groups such as table tennis, line dancing, dance exercise, darts, chair yoga.

Members also discuss books they have read, go to the cinema, theatre or restaurants in each others company, converse in French, German, Italian, Spanish or Russian, learn about history, find out more about Africa, be creative with crafts, painting and drawing, enjoy a Quiz night, play board games … and so much more.

And for those who just don’t want to go out – or are not able to – there are plenty of groups which meet on Zoom!
