Welcome to Life Long Learning
The Life Long Learning organisation (LLL) is a network of self help groups in which people come together to share experience, knowledge, and interests. The Ormskirk Group is predominately a walking group with a few other activities.
All the Ormskirk LLL walks are led by a member of the group. Members either use their own cars to get to the start of the walk or use public transport. All walks are on a Friday, and most walks include a pub lunch. Details of the walks are included on the website and any changes in details are included.
Membership is available on any walk (cost £3) or contact the group leader, tel 0151 261 20001 or e-mail: p7w@LLL-Ormskirk.org.uk
More about Life Long Learning
Together with the University of the Third Age, (aughton-ormskirk branch), the LLL is a "Learning Co-operative of Older People" which enables its members to share educational, creative and leisure activities. The activities are organised mainly in small groups throughout the North West of England and meet regularly, often in each others' homes. Members share their knowledge and experience, and develop their own capabilities by learning from each other.
LLL/U3A is the only national education organisation in the U.K. run entirely by its members.
All Life Long Learning Groups are autonomous. There is no typical Life Long Learning Group; each reflects the wishes of its own local members and chooses its own activities.
Each Group is run on democratic principles and its Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Committee members are elected by the membership. A local level of membership fee is agreed according to the circumstances of the individual Group.
Once established, Groups are able to make links with other Groups and take part in joint meetings and conferences. Life Long Learning Groups may also exercise the option of affiliating to the national University of the Third Age movement. |
