About Silver Sunday
Initially launched as a local campaign to tackle loneliness and isolation, Silver Sunday is now a national day where people of all generations can come together by hosting fun and free activities for older people.
It is a day where older people can meet new people, visit new places, try new activities and connect with their local communities and the generations around them.
