Minehead U3A Society Hub – Learn, Connect, Volunteer

Welcome to the hub where Minehead locals find learning classes, volunteer chances, and community projects. Whether you’re over 50 looking for a new hobby or a younger adult wanting to give back, we’ve got something for you.

What you can do

Join a weekly book club, pick up a craft workshop, or sign up for a local clean‑up. Our volunteers help run food‑banks, support homeless shelters, and mentor youth programmes. Every activity is free and open to anyone living in or near Minehead.

Why it matters

Staying active keeps minds sharp and friendships strong. By taking part you also boost the town’s wellbeing – more volunteers mean better services for the vulnerable and a louder voice for local issues.

Signing up is easy: fill a short form online or pop in during our open hours. You’ll receive a welcome pack with class schedules, volunteer guidelines, and a list of local support services.

Check the calendar below for upcoming events, and feel free to drop by the community room any day. Got an idea for a new group? Talk to our team – we love turning suggestions into reality.
