Silver City Surfers (SCS) is a local charity which has been operating since 2005 providing people with the opportunity to learn basic computing skills, including use of email and the internet. Increasingly, we are helping our learners to make the most of smart phones and tablets.
We are currently looking to recruit new Trustees to join our Board so we can continue to support older people to ensure that they are not left behind by the advances in technology. You don’t need specific skills, just a willingness to help our charity continue to provide a lifeline for older people. Training can be provided.
Trustees meet 1x per month to make sure that the organisation is running well and that our plans are properly implemented. They form the Management committee of the charity and have responsibility for making sure that SCS is doing what it is set up to do. We are fortunate to have amazing coordinators who are responsible for the day to day running of our sessions and recruiting and supporting our volunteers.
We are looking at future developments for the service; would you like to be part of the planning? If you are interested, please contact Louise Farmer, Chair at email: silvercitysurfers.trustees@gmail.com

Did you know that there are RSPB Youth Groups across the UK, and our network is growing and expanding, so we need more volunteers to lead and shape our youth group teams.
You could be the person we need to join this adventure and help support young people in your area to learn about, explore and help the wildlife around them in a fun and engaging way.
Why we love our youth groups!
We know that if young people learn to love wildlife and nature, they will want to protect it and be empowered to take meaningful action to defend it in their own communities.
You could be part of a team of like-minded, enthusiastic people who love nature and want our younger generations to experience that sense of awe when encountering something new or the excitement of being part of a bigger movement to save nature.
What do you need to know?
You will use your existing skills to lead and motivate a team of dedicated volunteers, delegating tasks by getting to know everyone’s strengths and experiences.
You will be the main link with the RSPB youth team and be responsible for sharing information to the youth group. The RSPB Youth Team will support you to ensure the group is using our framework and operating within our standards.
You will need to be confident with using a computer for example to communicate using email to send us required documentation.
With your team you will plan the programme and run the sessions in a safe and fun way. The programme will be made up of activities where young people can experience and take meaningful action to protect nature.
You will ensure that the group’s finances are managed in accordance with our policies and submit annual financial returns.
You will liaise with reserves, local groups and other wildlife organisations. You will invite regular feedback from your group leaders, and most importantly the young people to evaluate the success of your meetings and work out what needs to be done to be even better.
You need to enjoy working with young people – they are the heart of what we do. You will be asked to complete a variety of training including induction and safeguarding and data protection.
The youth groups usually meet monthly, and Main Leaders usually spend six to eight hours per month outside of the meetings on the role depending on how the responsibilities are shared within the team. Members of the Phoenix group are typically aged between 13 to 18.
Why not get in touch and see how you would fit into this role?

Join our fantastic team of Kiltie volunteers and help support thousands of walkers as they take on the Edinburgh Kiltwalk and fundraise for a charity close to their heart. The Edinburgh Kiltwalk will take place across Edinburgh and East Lothian on Sunday 15 September.
With a selection of roles to choose from, there really is something for everyone! See our walkers off at the start line, welcome them across the finish line or help them recharge at one of our Pit Stops. You can also provide support on the route by cheering and directing walkers. You can do this on foot, by cycling or by driving – we have options to suit all.
Kiltwalk is Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 145,000 people taking part since 2016. The kind-hearted Kiltwalk community have taken big strides for charities close to their hearts and together with The Hunter Foundation, have managed to raise a staggering £42.5 million to date. All funds raised have been distributed to 3,330 Scottish Charities.
Our walkers rely on the encouragement and motivation they receive from our volunteers and many report that this is what ultimately gets them across the finish line. Be part of a feel-good event, soak up the Kiltwalk atmosphere and meet like-minded people. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop new skills and gain valuable experience in the events industry. It truly is a rewarding day!
