Our Interest Groups

Seaham Harbour u3a is broken up into a number of different groups, we call these our “Interest Groups“; each group manages itself and is set up to do what our members want.

Our Members may join as many interest groups as they wish. These interest groups are formed and run by members themselves, for the members.

Got something to offer our Interest Groups?

If you’re looking for something different that we don’t do or you have a particular skill you’d like to share; anyone can request a new interest group to form provided there are at least 2 people interested (and it is legal).
