Friday 21 May 2010 is Silver Surfers’ Day.
Silver Surfers’ Day is the largest, national, digital literacy campaign for older people in the UK and it’s been running annually since 2002. SSD provides local people and organisations with all the resources and support they need to open their doors to older people and offer them a taste of digital technology.
For SSD2010, our special focus will be on encouraging and supporting intergenerational SSD partnerships. We are particularly keen to grow our ‘Schools for Silver Surfers‘ initiative, which resulted in 66 partnerships between local schools and sheltered housing schemes in 2009.
You can read more about Schools for Silver Surfers here.
We’re working hard on all aspects of SSD2010, and we hope soon to be able to announce some exciting new ideas to make it even bigger and better. In the meantime, make a date in your diary and start thinking about what you can do.
- We’ll be publishing an updated Event Holders’ Planning Guide in January, but if you want an overview of the things that you should be thinking about, see the Event Holders’ Quick Guide here.
- If you want to encourage other people to hold an Event, download the Silver Surfers’ Day Flyer here.
- If you’ve not been involved in Silver Surfers’ Day before and you want to know what it’s all about, see What we do - Silver Surfers here.
- If you represent a business or other organisation that wants to reach millions of older people, think about sponsoring Silver Surfers’ Day or Silver Surfer of the Year. For more information, see Sponsor Silver Surfers’ Day 2010 here.
