Welcome
March 2025. Welcome to the website of Wetherby & District u3a.
Our fantastic and friendly organisation has over 100 groups covering a wide range of activities. My thanks, and those of the Committee, go to our Group Leaders, who continue to do a superb job in co-ordinating activities. The u3a relies on volunteers – it is a movement run by the members, for the members; everyone contributes. Unfortunately some groups have closed due to a lack of volunteers but, on the other hand, new groups are in the pipeline. Please see the Group Leader’s page for information about running a group.
Please take care. Chair Wetherby & District u3a

Here is Wetherby u3a Sc@mbuster Newsletter No.23 this time we’re looking at scams which can result in you losing your house.
Marks and Spencer’s recent cyber attack has left customers unable to order goods online and the situation appears to be serious. Apart from the inconvenience this causes, it is likely that scammers will jump on the bandwagon by conducting phishing campaigns. This could be texts or emails designed to look like they came from M&S. They could possibly even be claiming to offer further information on the incident, when in reality they are aimed at tricking their recipients into handing over personal or financial information. If you want to know more, please find your own reputable and proven way, such as the M&S website or your preferred news outlet; don’t follow any links sent to you Just a few hours ago, Computer Weekly published the following statement: “M&S customers should keep an eye on their online accounts and bank statements and also be on guard. We don’t know if criminals have accessed any customer data, but it is always safer to be on guard”.
