The U3A movement is a self help organisation for those who are no longer in full time employment and believe that 'learning is for life'.

U3As are organised into regions in England, and into countries for Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

The East Midlands Region comprises the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, and Nottinghamshire. It has formed a Regional Representative Council to which each county sends two elected representatives. The Council meets four times per year to discuss items of common interest, and provide a forum for the exchange of information between the member U3As and the Third Age Trust which is the National body for the movement.
