Third Age Trust (TAT)
Being part of Carlisle & District u3a also brings the advantages of being a member of the Third Age Trust (TAT), providing a wealth of information and support for its members. These include operational support to individual u3as (eg legal advice, running a charity, using Beacon as an administrative tool, Siteworks for maintaining a website); to Group Leaders with Subject Advice on running and setting up interest groups; and ordinary members with events and activities that are open to all on a first come first served basis. Members also receive a bi-monthly magazine (optional) “u3a Matters” at no extra cost.
