Silver Surfers (360G-SCVO-a11b000000Etkx1AAB)

The Silver Surfers project aims to support people aged over 50 in Hawick who are not computer literate and are digitally excluded, economically disadvantaged, socially isolated and feel lonely. A weekly informal café based session will provide older people the confidence to drop in with their phones, tablets or other digital medium and receive informal one to one support on a regular weekly basis. After the first 6 months of drop-in provision themed group sessions will be introduced according to individual interests and or needs of the service users i.e. art, family history, cookery, financial planning, benefit, job searching. These session will be supported by input from external agencies, i.e. archive staff, Citizens Advice Bureau, Job Centre, Hub Staff, Community Learning and Development. Through upskilling staff BCF will create a number of digital champions who will be able to assist basic customer queries on an ongoing basis. The project will be delivered by a Digital Skills Trainer, managed by the BCF Manager.
