With nearly 400 members, Ravenshead u3a provides educational and sociable activities for older people, and also those who are younger and have time to take part.

There are more than 40 activity and interest groups, run by members. Groups cover a wide range of subjects, from gardening, walking, pickleball, and salsa dancing to wine, cookery and food, photography, writing for fun, and more.

Day trips are organised each month to educational, cultural, and social venues of interest within a 50-mile radius of Ravenshead, using the 14-seater Ravenshead Community Transport mini coaches.
