Named after the medieval village of Preston in Brighton, Preston Park u3a was formed in November 2007 and now has over 500 members. We have more than 60 different learning and activity interest groups run by members for our members. We are continually trying to start up more groups, with members' help, to meet demand. We are one of over 1,000 u3as nationally with a total membership of over 420,000. u3a is also an international as well as a national movement.

Our national motto is LEARN, LAUGH, LIVE and our aim is to provide for your ongoing development and well-being in the so called Third Age. u3a is about keeping active, mentally, physically and socially when full time employment has ended. We encourage you to learn for pleasure, gain new skills, try new experiences and visit new places as part of our various interest groups and to make new friends. There are no exams to pass or qualifications to be gained but you will meet new ideas and people in a friendly, co-operative and informal atmosphere.

• Sign up for our Interest Groups and other visits and events
