We’re a volunteer-led organisation. This is in line with the ethos of the u3a movement ie. ‘by the members, for the members’. Without your help, we would cease to exist. But volunteering is also a social activity and a means of learning new things, meeting new people and having fun. And it’s a way of giving back to the community that supported you during your working life. So why not share your passion and your skills and help us continue to make Haxby & Wigginton u3a the success it is today.

COMMITTEE
Publicity Officer : This role involves driving awareness of what we do both internally and externally using all forms of media e.g. email, our website, social media and our newsletter. If this is something you’ve done before, you’ll love the chance to utilise your skills. If not, you’ll be learning something new! A full role description is available on request. To express an interest please contact chairman@hawu3a.org
NB : Full training is provided. All committee roles are covered by the Third Age Trust’s Indemnity Insurance.
GROUPS
Group Leaders : Is there a group you’d be interested in but it’s not currently available? Or perhaps it’s full and you’re on a waiting list? In which case, we’ll help you start a group of your own. We can cover start-up costs and give you support during the initial stages. Recent examples include a new Cycling Group, a fourth Book Club and a third Walking Group. Anything is possible! For more information please contact groupscoordinator@hawu3a.org
Group Support : Does your current Group Leader need a hand? Maybe they‘d like some help setting things up, collecting subscriptions or deputising when they’re not there. If so, why not let them know you’re available?
You can do this at your next group meeting or by the point of contact for your group which you can find via the groups page on our website here https://haxby-wigginton.u3asite.uk/groups/
WIDER TEAM
Speaker Finder : This role involves organising the programme of Monthly Talks held at the Wigginton Recreation Hall. Administrative skills would be useful but some basic common sense would be fine. A Speaker Directory is available to make choosing presenters straightforward and full support and training will be provided. To express an interest please contact chairman@hawu3a.org
