We offer a wide range of activities and social events.
With more than 60 active interest groups – from Amblers to Yoga – there is sure to be something for everyone.
If you are a UK taxpayer can we ask you to allow Sidmouth u3a to claim Gift Aid on your subscription.
Every £1 of your subscription is worth an extra £0.25 to us and at no cost to you.
This is one way to help keep your membership fees down.
The membership subscription fee of Sidmouth u3a is £12 for Full members and £8.50 for Associate members
(with reduced part-year subscription fees as set out below) and Gift Aid will be claimed on these amounts.
This pays for membership of this u3a only and does not give you the personal right(s) to use facilities or services provided by this u3a.
Some interest groups may incur costs which need to be covered by the members of those groups.
If joining from 1 December, the fee includes the following year's membership (14 months).
If joining from 1 January, the fee includes the following year's membership (13 months).
