Mawdesley & Neighbouring Villages U3A has a weekly Wednesday Coffee Morning where members and prospective members can come to see what activities and forthcoming events are available. The activities and interest groups are split into various types and open to all members with the range allowing for different levels of physical or mental ability, and are run and organised by members. It also provides a friendly environment and mutual support among the membership to aid both physical and mental health. Members suggest new activities that may be trialled or launched if there is sufficient interest. The Trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and believe that this is satisfied as the Association is non-profit making as any surplus is used in future years to support its charitable objectives and purposes. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
Membership numbers have now returned to pre-pandemic levels. This year has seen the development of new groups - Tai Chi, Guitars Etcetera, Pickleball and our Eco Travel Group. Summer 2022 saw the return of Boules and later in the year our Patchwork group restarted. In September we ran a series of Heritage Walks in our neighbouring villages and also held a MacMillan Coffee Morning. During the year members have donated foreign coins for the British Legion, spectacles and mobile phones for Uganda, loose change for Children in Need, and there was an astounding response to the International Aid collection for Ukraine. Our weekly Newsletter by email continues to keep members in touch with what is going on in our u3a. |
