Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The charity continues to uphold the principles of the Third Age Trust i.e. the advancement, education, health and well- being of people no longer in full time employment. Sheffield u3a (Su3a) achieves its aims by supporting and encouraging members to form Interest or Activity groups usually on a peer-to-peer learning basis and also by facilitating events which are open to all members. In 2025 our membership prior to renewal date (1stOctober) reached 3100. This represent an increase of slightly over 3% which the trustees feel is a steady and sustainable increase in line with our aims. Social media has helped in bringing our organisation to a wider local audience and this year we also took the decision to use group activities to promote membership. This was because of a highly successful public exhibition of their work organised by one of our Art Groups and funded by Sheffield u3a. It was very popular and resulted in attracting new members both for the group and Sheffield u3a and gave “added value” to both prospective and existing members. We involved ourselves locally in the Silver Sunday initiative organised by Age UK and also in a local Music Festival arranged by one of our members. The staging of these member-driven events involved our wider membership and reduced the burden which would otherwise have fallen on a small number of volunteers. Our Group Coordinator’s team has been heavily involved in establishing new groups based on feedback from the members. Older activity/interest groups have come to a natural end but newer groups have replaced them. Weheld twomeetingsfor new members

during the year where we aim to inform them of how the organisation works and what to expect from their membership. In return they help guide us to the sort of activities we should be seeking to establish. However, it is made clear that we are a facilitating organisation rather than a service provider and that activities will not happen unless members step up to organise them. We also held a meeting for all group coordinators which was well attended and gave the trustees the opportunity to alert members to changes within the organisation and to consult them on future plans. Our relationship with both local universities but in particular Sheffield University, whereby our members help in their research projects has been affected by the funding issues they are experiencing. However, we hope to maintain the relationships with both universities in the future. The trustees have also established a subgroup to look at diversity and inclusion within our organisation and to consult with members who may be affected, as a result of disability, ethnicity or any other of the other protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010. In summary Sheffield u3a continues to be a solid, well-run organisation with wellconsidered aims and policies.
