An Appeal 👐

Jo Turner, who is the Groups Coordinator and the CYGnet Coordinator (Neighbouring u3a Liaison), must stand down next year. We are, therefore, looking to fill this position.

For more information, please email: groups@u3aleeds.com.

Any members interested will be supported by a comprehensive mentoring system, if needed.

For more details as to how Leeds members are affected, email our CYGnet Coordinator, Jo Turner:

An Idea…🤔

Do you know someone who could be lonely, left out or socially disconnected? It could be a neighbour, someone down the club or a friend-of-a-friend, etc.

Why not reach out and try to get them involved in u3a Leeds?

Just an idea.

Scam Alert 🚨

We have been contacted by a u3a who experienced a scam in which they received an email, allegedly from one of their committee members, saying that they needed to be sent money in order to send an invoice.

This was quite sophisticated and appeared to have come from another committee member.

If you receive an email like this, check the email address of the sender to make sure it is their normal email address.

If in doubt, it is best to call the person directly. All u3as are recommended to implement dual authorisation for payments.
