Welcome to Harrow u3a
Who are we?
We are a self-sustaining group, in that our members share knowledge and skills to create classes. We are one of the larger groups in the UK and part of a worldwide organisation. We are fortunate to have the use of a substantial venue at Harrow Arts Centre for many classes, others are held in members’ homes.
There are no age restrictions, if you have free time during the day, you’re welcome to join us. We think of learning as fun and challenging and value all members’ experience to provide a broad range of groups.

Message from Oscar Monteiro- Chair Harrow u3a.
I am now finding my way around Harrow u3a and I am heartened by how many people work so hard to help others. We are looking for people to help run the organisation and no one who I have approached has refused to help. We have been very busy finding ways to balance
the books and making our u3a one of the most vibrant in London. To increase our visibility and the possibility of new members, we are creating Community Partnerships. These are connections with certain groups, the first two being Proscenium—an amateur theatre company
and the Harrow Arts Centre. These two organisations will advertise Hu3a and we will send out emails as to what they do, but in a limited way. We will not drown you with emails .Harrow u3a is a social and sociable organisation, if it is anything, and you all know what it is like to join a new group where everyone else knows each other and you recognise no one. I would like all people—Group Leaders and members of the group—to make sure new entrants are made
especially welcome.On the same note, you may believe that participating in a group’s
activities is the beginning and end of your interaction. This is only one part of it; making friends and building relations is just as important. I would ask all members to consider meeting outside the group setting – maybe for a pizza or tea and a cake. If you are able to bring in cakes and snacks to celebrate Christmas or for just a social break, please do so.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
