The U3A enables people to make new friends and to remain physically and mentally active in their retirement and the Ballymena group’s membership numbers have increased by about 50 per cent in the last five years.

It meets at 11am on the first Thursday of the month in the Ecos Innovation Centre in Ballymena when there is a guest speaker and time for tea/coffee and a chat.
