Internet connectivity in Northern Ireland is the lowest in the UK and older people are amongst the most digitally excluded in our communities. With Silver Surfer Day fast approaching and recognising that not everyone has a computer at home, Age Concern Northern Ireland is encouraging schools across the Northern Ireland to hold an Internet Ranger Day.

BT research found that nearly a third of parents and grandparents have been taught or encouraged to surf the internet by a young person aged between 13 to 16 years. Even more remarkable, the research showed that children as young as 5 are helping older people get online! BT coined the term ‘Internet Rangers’ to describe these youngsters whose knowledge of the internet and ability to teach older members of their family is helping tackle the digital divide.

BT Internet Ranger Events are a great way to bring families, communities and generations together.
