We are a local independent charity run entirely by our own members on a voluntary basis.
Membership is drawn mainly from Magherafelt, Maghera, Cookstown and surrounding areas.
We are an organisation of active people from all walks of life, no longer in full time work, who meet regularly to expand their knowledge, share interests and learn new skills.
We have monthly talks on a wide variety of interesting topics. We also have special interest groups where members organise their own activities in a variety of subjects. Social outings are also very popular.
Our aim is to make Sperrin u3a as inclusive and welcoming as possible.
Join us to Learn, Laugh and Live!


"Our guest speakers are usually interesting and informative, and often quite entertaining!"
