Welcome

Thank you for visiting our new website. Glan Afan Silver Surfers is the name of an Intergenerational Project which takes place at Glan Afan Comprehensive School in the industrial town of Port Talbot.

We have been providing free Silver Surfers sessions to senior citizens in the community since 2007, which have been a massive success, and the group have even won numerous awards for all their hard work!

The Silver Surfers project at the school encourages the young and older generations to interact and learn new skills – Pupils from the school give up their own time to volunteer with the group and teach new things to the senior citizens.

During the sessions, the ‘Silver Surfers’ are taught how to use the mouse and keyboard, how to write letters, create greetings cards, send e-mails, find old friends on Facebook, shop on the web, read the news, and gain confidence in using the computer alone.

Our sessions take place on Wednesdays during school term time from 3:30pm – 5:00pm.
