The Third Age Trust’s new governance structure

The Council elections don’t require LR u3as to vote – we have Chris Bulford (Islington) and Jenny Wilson (LR Trustee & Croydon) already in place to take their seats on the newly established Council when it begins work in April.

The Trust Board has 4 places to be filled, and it is important that you take part in the voting process.

Each u3a must pre-register to vote, with one person nominated to cast votes for 4 candidates. If you need help email – elections@u3a.org.uk

See details of the 9 members who have put themselves forwards for a seat on the Board can be found here :

https://www.u3a.org.uk/events/board-trustee-council-rep-elections/trustee-candidates

An email will be sent to the registered voter with a link to the voting form.

There will be a husting on Wednesday 5th February 2-4pm

You can book a place from the same page above.

  • Voting closes – Friday 21 February 2025
  • Results announced – Wednesday 26 February 2025

Best wishes from Val Girling (LR u3a Chair) & Jenny Wilson (LR Trustee)

SAVE THE DATE

AI has been around since the 1950’s, but has recently leapt into prominence in the news with comments ranging from praise for its astonishing benefits to alarming stories of the end of humanity. With the UK government’s new announcement about a national AI initiative we need more than ever to understand what AI means for the world, for organisations and for us as individuals.
If you have tried AI and found the results underwhelming, this workshop will explain why and how you may choose to make AI your assistant.

We will explore what AI is and how it works, provide case studies of its application, discuss the issues and challenges, and offer demonstrations of AI tools that are available to all u3a members. The event is hosted by London Region of U3As, but led by members of the Third Age Trust’s ‘AI for Everyone Team’.

Further information about the programme will be disseminated at the end of February with a link to the application form. Bookings launch 28th February 2025
