Recruitment and Retention Workshop
Wednesday 15th July 2026, 10am to 3pm
St George’s Conference Centre, Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3DL
The event will be led by Nick Linney, Senior Training and Volunteering Officer at the Third Age Trust.
Recruitment and retention of members and committee members is a perennial challenge for u3as. The workshop will explore this topic and hopefully you will leave with good ideas to try in your u3a. You are encouraged to come ready to share what has and has not worked for your own u3a. We learn from listening to each other.
It is open to all members of u3as in the Yorkshire and Humber region. It is a 10am for 10:30am start and will finish around 3pm. Lunch is included and there is no registration fee. Please complete the registration form below.

DIRECTIONS TO ST GEORGE’S CENTRE.
This is a city-centre location within relatively easy reach of public transport. According to Google Maps, it is about 14 minutes’ walk from the Leeds mainline station to St George’s Centre. (If you walk to the back of Leeds Town Hall – with a VERY large clock tower – and then turn left on Great George Street, pass the old Victorian part of the Infirmary on your right, then pass St George’s church again on your right and the Conference Centre is just behind the church. (If you get to the bridge over the Inner-City Ring Road – you’ve gone too far – turn back!)
As parking is limited (and expensive) in any city centre, it is best to avoid bringing your car. If necessary, you can find parking via Google, perhaps The Light is the nearest.
For travel directions please see: http://www.stgeorgescentreleeds.org.uk/find-us
NB – If you Google ‘St George’s Centre, Leeds – there are TWO of them –check you have the Conference Centre on Great George’s Street, not the NHS one in Middleton.
ACCESSIBILITY – Our meeting room and the toilets are the ground floor and should be fully accessible. If you need permission to use St George’s own (very limited) disabled parking space please send an e-mail, including your car make & model and registration number, to events@yahru3a.uk to arrange it for you.
