College of The Third Age

College of the Third Age is a voluntary group, with charitable status, run by and for retired and semi-retired people over the age of 50.  We run classes, workshops and social activities for this age group at the lowest possible cost.

We are a self-supporting organisation with no financial help from the council or education.  The administration and all the running of C3A is done by volunteers, and as we have a sizeable membership.

This is no easy task, and it is thanks to these volunteers that we are able to exist.  Many of the classes and leisure activities are also run by volunteers which helps to keep our running costs as low as possible.
