We Are Here To Help!
Beacon is maintained and developed by a small team of u3a volunteers, with software development and maintenance by a specialist outside contractor.
If your committee would like to try the Beacon system with absolutely no commitment, we will send you a copy of the ‘Beacon Journey Pack’ please email:
Beacon Reference and Training Documents

If your u3a decides to adopt Beacon we call getting you on board the Beacon ‘Journey’
If your u3a needs help or guidance during your Beacon ‘journey’, it’s readily available.
Support is provided in a number of ways:
- Beacon’s national team of supporters is made up of experienced Beacon uses who provide personal, 1-2-1 advice and assistance to u3as, both ‘journeying’ and when ’newly-live’.
- There is a national online User Forum where members communicate with each other regardless of their UK location. It’s alive with discussion, advice, and all-things Beacon!
