We’re a vibrant and welcoming community of local people who enjoy lifelong learning.

Chiltern u3a (Cu3a) is part of a national network of u3as founded more than 40 years ago. After 26 years of learning, laughing and living in and around the Amersham area, Cu3a is still going strong with around 1550 members and over 100 interest groups. 

Our purpose is to offer a wide variety of physical, intellectual and artistic activities as well as opportunities to get out, meet new people and enjoy a varied social life. We don’t offer formal courses, or any degrees or diplomas. Run for our members by our members, as long as you no longer work fulltime, Cu3a is for you.
