• THANK you Islington Tribune for your excellent supplement including combating isolation and loneliness of older people in London.

It was interesting to see the information about u3a in London which is located in Belsize Park and is one of over 40 local u3as across London.

In Islington, we have our very own University of the Third Age, which has been going since 2013. We are a group of 700 locals who are no longer in full-time work.

We’re all about keeping our minds and bodies active, making new friends and enjoying ourselves.

We have more than 80 interest groups, covering many subjects and activities, and a varied programme of talks. There are regular social events, too, pub lunches, coffee mornings, parties, quizzes, and outings.

We are always delighted to welcome new members. You can find out more from our website: islingtonu3a.org or call us on 07784 336219.
