Verwood u3a is part of a National and International Organisation for people no longer in full-time employment, there are no age boundaries. Our aim is to help people get the most out of life by providing the facilities for group activities. We have groups from discussion and art groups through to music and badminton, and just about everything in between. Please visit our ACTIVITIES page for more information.

Men’s Discussion Group

The discussions will be non-political and will not be about current affairs.
The intention is to consider issues which affect and are of interest to men specifically and to encourage members to enjoy the company, have fun and help to adapt to this changing world.

New members welcome!

An appeal by the shaw trust

Shaw Trust is a leading employment charity. Each year we support hundreds of thousands of people to achieve their full potential, and your local charity shop in Verwood is looking for volunteers to join the team, helping us to raise vital funds to support the work we do.

We are currently looking for volunteers who can support us on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons (or even the Holy Grail of Volunteers, Saturdays!)
The role will involve serving our wonderful customers, assisting our loyal donors, as well as sorting and preparing donations ready for sale. Artistic flair and a keen eye for detail are always welcome if visual merchandising is your thing too, and of course your time and hard work will be rewarded with tea and biscuits!

Details on the charity and our application form can be found on our website: www.shawtrust.org.uk
Alternatively, feel free to contact me with any questions or for any additional information at Tom.Wilks@shaw-trust.org.uk or 07395 366681
