The Northern Ireland Regional Executive Committee (NIREC) leads the regional activities. NIREC organises the Spring AGM and the Autumn Regional Meeting, usually with speakers from the Third Age Trust. All Northern Ireland U3As are invited to attend and costs for two representatives from each are covered by the Third Age Trust. Several Inter-U3A events are also facilitated, and the NIREC liaises on behalf of the regions U3As with outside bodies.
The U3A movement in Northern Ireland is steadily growing with 25 registered U3A groups in 2019 and with a number of individuals actively seeking to set up groups in other localities.
Information on Northern Ireland’s U3A groups is available on the regional website including contact details. Additionally, the majority of the above groups have their own individual websites and links are provided for these.
