Our membership management system is called 'Beacon' - the u3a movement’s integrated membership, groups, finance and mailing system.
You can amend the information we hold for you on-line via Beacon and keep your contact details up to date by being able to view and change your own membership record. Keeping your information up to date is important so that Group Leaders can contact you, we can send you our U3A Newsletter and you can be kept informed of events organised by our u3a.
To access Beacon, please click below:-

If you experience any difficulty, please refer to the Guidance Notes below.
To log into your personal account you will need to provide the following information to identify yourself: membership number, forename, surname, postcode and email address. If any of these does not conform exactly to the data held in our database you will not be able to log on.
Guidance Notes for Beacon Login

If you have a problem logging into Beacon, it is likely that something you are entering does not correspond exactly with the data that was originally entered into the database from your paper membership form by our volunteers.
If you having difficulty accessing Beacon please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your name and membership number so we can investigate and respond to you by email
