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
