Summary/Abstract: The article presents the history of the creation and functioning of the Uniejów University of the Third Age, which is an important centre of education and activity as well as a place for the integration of the local community. Ten years of its activity and the activities realised during this time were evaluated. An analysis was made of the number of beneficiaries and their place of residence. The importance of the Uniejów University of the Third Age for the local community, its participation in regional projects, as well as its representation in the Senior Citizens’ Council and the Civic Parliament of Seniors – which allows, among other things, for the current needs of elderly people to be taken into account in the activities planned and implemented for them – were highlighted.
