We'll have a presentation from a Fife Groups Co-ordinator for U3A : University of the 3rd Age - the ‘International movement whose aims are the education and stimulation of mainly retired members of the community — those in their third 'age' of life.’ What’s it all about? What’s on offer in Fife? How accessible are groups to members with hearing loss? We look forward to finding out all about it!
