Membership - How to Join


East Renfrewshire u3a membership year runs from 1 July to 30 June the following year.

If you join on or after the 1st April, your membership will run until 30 June the following year.

If you already belong to another u3a you will be charged an "associate" membership fee of £20 per year.

Otherwise, you will be charged the individual membership fee of £24 per year.

We strongly recommend that you visit the "Online Joining" instructions created by the national u3a (opens in a new browser tab) before starting the new-member joining process.

Please read all of our Documents before applying for membership.

Please read the following statements before clicking the "Agree" button below. Hitting the "Agree" button below will take you to the new member sign up process.

I agree to the Terms and Conditions and to the u3a Principles

I consent to my data being used for membership purposes as detailed above and if appropriate to the sharing of my name and address with the company who oversees the distribution of the Trust Magazine.

If I opt to authorise Gift Aid, then I acknowledge my responsibility to ensure I pay sufficient taxes to allow this. Please note that the cost of basic membership subscription for this u3a is £15 and Gift Aid will be claimed on this amount only. However, an additional fee of £9 is required and this covers the cost associated with running our u3a, giving a total membership fee of £24.

After the last stage of the process payment, you will get an email copy of your membership card from the u3a Beacon system and a Payment Confirmation email from PayPal.

Once you have joined you will then have the opportunity to join any individual groups that interest you. All the groups and contact details for the individual Facilitators can be found under the groups button. When you have joined an individual group you will be sent details of the groups by the Facilitator.
