Ards Peninsula

About

  • Members come from the length and breadth of the Peninsula and beyond. You don’t have to live in the area to be a member.
  • Monthly meetings are held in the Donaghadee Community Centre.
  • Activity groups meet wherever the group decides. Walking, Horticulture, Days Out, and Lunch change locations each time they meet.
  • Retired and semi-retired people come together in u3a and learn together, not for qualifications but for enjoyment!
  • There is no lower age of membership, no qualifications are required and fees are kept to a minimum
  • Members share their skills and life experiences, learners teach and teachers learn and there is no distinction between them
  • It is a unique and exciting organisation that provides members of the community with life-changing opportunities.
  • We have a Gallery showing our members enjoying various activities.
