Are you new to our wonderful borough of Richmond, or perhaps just looking to meet new people and expand your social circle? This simply social group is aimed at doing just that!

The Welcome Circle is a warm and informal weekly get-together for U3A members. Our premise is simple: we meet for a coffee (or tea!) and a chat in a relaxed local café. There are no agendas, no set topics—just friendly conversation and the pleasure of good company.

This group is particularly perfect for newcomers to the area. It’s a fantastic opportunity to:
Meet new faces and establish lasting friendships.
Share experiences and ask for tips about life in the borough.
Discover hidden gems, from the best parks to the cosiest pubs.
Feel connected to our vibrant and friendly community.

Whether you've lived here for five days or fifty years, if you enjoy meeting new people, you are incredibly welcome. Let’s get together, share stories, and appreciate the wonderful place we all call home.
