Surfing through the Greys: Silver Surfers Club

You are never too old unless you want to be! Age is just a number; count the memories you make while living to the fullest. Silver Surfers Club is an initiative that brings a positive change among the still-young-at-heart individuals. This article has been written by Bay Agnani for The Silver Surfers Travel Club, a Travel Community with a difference, created for the new breed of 'Young at Heart' 50+ travellers who crave independent travel.

WE will all eventually reach the stage where we will adorn the silver greys over our heads. It will be a transitional period where we will experience major life changes, including career transitions, retirement, children moving on to lead their lives, physical and health challenges. How do we handle these changes and overcome the challenges of ageing.

Few of us know ahead of time how to age well and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. One such organisation, the Silver Surfers Club, has been steadfastly disrupting perceptions of ageing and encouraging a positive outlook to growing old.

AT THE SILVER SURFERS CLUB

In the 8 years of running the club, offering events, birthday and festival parties, job placements, silver bazaars, holidays and meet-ups, the founder - Dipti Varma Narain - has seen members blossom into fun, active, independent and enthusiastic individuals buoyed by the strength and friendships offered by each other.

Dipti says, “We’ve witnessed first-hand how the friendships formed within the Silver Surfers Club cocooned our members with a strong support system, gave a new sense of purpose, empowered our members to be more active and allowed them to be seen, heard and included.”
