Activity Groups Alphabetical List
The U3A concept involves shared learning - either a 'teacher' taking a group to spread their knowledge to others, or a co-ordinator organising a group with a shared interest in a topic. Currently we have a wide range of groups already active; if you would like to set up a new group, you can find out more.
Here is an overview of our current Activity Groups, with information on when and where they meet. Community Care Centre refers to Stokesley Community Care, above the Library in Town Close.
