Why is learning in later life so good for you?

Taking up new skills and exploring new interests in later life has huge benefits:

* Creates connections - learning together is the perfect environment to form new friendships with interests in common.

* Boosts brain health - keeping your mind active helps improve memory and cognitive function.

* Builds confidence - picking up a new skill can give a
real sense of achievement and purpose.

* Spark joy - learning for the joy of it is fun!!

“The Isle of Skye u3a was founded in 2010. The group has grown considerably since those early days and we now have members living throughout the island.

Our members have a wide range of interests; and are always open to trying new ones. The current range of activities encompass art, gardening, meditation, play-reading, archaeology, several walking groups, nature and photography.

The choice is endless and the decision about what to do is made by the members for the members.

For a modest annual fee, you can join as many groups as you wish.

Joining in is made easier when you’re surrounded by others who have similar interests to you.
