Learning not lonely

Explore our research into the transformative potential of the u3a model. We heard from over 800 members from across the UK about the impact of the movement on the quality of their lives.

Our findings demonstrated the exceptional impact of the non-formal learning model on wellbeing in terms of boosting confidence, combatting loneliness, feeling supported in new communities, learning new skills and, perhaps most important of all, feeling valued and enjoying life.
