Please see our u3a Newsletter Express for 06-08-21 😊

Pushback Ageism
Dear <<First Name>>
I wanted to send you this special Newsletter Express because we have an exciting opportunity to use our movement-wide voice - we’re pleased to be working with the Design Age Institute to put our members' feedback at the heart of design for the future.
We are all working to change the narrative and conversation around age. Our 'Pushback Against Ageism' campaign is working with a variety of partners to do this including the Centre for Ageing Better.
On another note, there are some great events coming up - one is below but you can see more on our website.
Look out for the next newsletter coming out later this month.
Very best wishes
Sam Mauger,
Chief Executive

As part of our Pushback Against Ageism Campaign, we've been working with the Design Age Institute to put the opinions and feedback of u3a members at the heart of what they do.
They are currently gathering information to challenge designers about the design of walking frames and being able to quote from peoples lived experience and real-life situations adds strength to the challenge.
Do you have a story to tell about walking frames, good or bad, funny or serious? Would you be happy for us to use your story? If you do have a story that you would be willing to share, please send it to Sandi Rickerby by 20 August.
Read more about the Pushback Against Ageism campaign on our Sources blog.
Get in the summer mood with another live cookery demonstration with Alex from Vegetarian for Life as he talks us through how to make three dishes for a Vegetarian BBQ: Imam Biyaldi, black bean burgers and a pasta salad.
Do you have photos or stories of your u3a groups meeting again or any projects you're working on - we would love to see them.
The latest u3a gallery for 'Different Sizes' is up now. See the beautiful photos, including this by Andrea of Guildford u3a, and submit your photo for the current theme, 'Architecture and Buildings' on our learning pages.
