Shaftesbury and Gillingham U3A (SGU3A) provides a wide range of enjoyable educational, creative and leisure activities on a self-help basis for those at, or nearing, retirement and living in the Shaftesbury and Gillingham area of Dorset.

The University of the Third Age is a nation-wide organisation for third agers who feel the need to keep their minds active without the stress of tying themselves into an examination system.

Each activity is organised and guided by SGU3A members who give their services freely. Teaching methods are informal to suit the leader and the group. Most study groups meet in members’ homes.
