Perth u3a is run entirely by volunteers. Volunteers serve in a variety of roles:
- committee members, including office bearers - see Committee
- ordinary members who take on a particular role - see Non-committee roles
- group leaders, who may lead one or more interest groups
- volunteers who help with specific tasks, for example, taking the register at Open Meetings.

You can contact people who have a specific role through this website. Every group page includes a link to a message window, and this enables you to send the relevant group leader an email. Links for other roles are on the Committee and the Non-committee roles pages.
At the end of each session, we hold our AGM. Dates of AGMs are on the Events page. AGM documentation, including Minutes, Agendas and Accounts are on the Perth u3a AGM page.
We use documentation to guide how we run ourselves. This includes our constitution, our financial procedures, our data protection policy and our health and safety handbook. The documentation page has a full list with a link to each document.
Much of our administrative data, for example, members' details, financial information and group lists is held on Beacon, a website overseen by Third Age Trust volunteers. This allows members with different roles to be given a level of access appropriate to their role.
Perth u3a is a member of the Third Age Trust (TAT) which provides administrative and educational support for all U3As. We are also a member of u3a Scotland.
Perth u3a is a registered charity (Scottish Charity SC008302) and we are regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). Our charitable purpose is the advancement of education, and in particular the education of older people and those who are retired from full time work.
