Who we are
Wrekin u3a is a friendly and welcoming group for people in the area who are in later life.
We have a wide range of Events and special Interest Groups, from Art Appreciation to Walking Groups, and from Craft Groups to Tai Chi. The vibe is informal, relaxed and open to new ideas – it’s run by people like you for people like you.
Monthly general meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 2.15pm except December.
