Happiness often comes from the community around us, but social isolation and loneliness can lessen our connections as we age. Make that a thing of the past with the Silver Talkies Club. We believe the older years are an opportunity to rediscover hobbies, pursue long-held and new interests and find new connections. We offer a safe, non-judgmental, and exclusive space for the 55+. Explore exciting activities with us and create meaningful connections with others like you.
Silver Talkies is an all-women-led organisation. We bring positive change in the lives of older adults with an enabling and supportive space for them to thrive. We are an exclusive community for people aged 55+ for whom ageing is an array of new experiences and learnings. Silver Talkies offers a social networking forum and an engagement and opportunities platform catering to older adults' diverse interests and needs. We will be your biggest cheerleaders through the older years and help you make them fun, exciting, and meaningful.
Silver Talkies is an inclusive community celebrating diversity and welcoming everyone 55 and above, irrespective of gender, caste, religion or education. We promote healthy ageing and well-being but don't replace professional healthcare or counselling. We believe in creating sustainable social impact, quality, and value and aren't a charitable organisation. Our team of passionate, professional, empathetic, and driven women ninjas are committed full-time and working towards reimagining ageing.

Testimonials from the Heart
"Silver Talkies has been a breath of fresh air in my mother's life. I feel the effect every time I talk to her as she has a happy experience to share or she is busy preparing for some upcoming event. Sometimes, she can't talk because she has her Silver Talkies Zoom class!"

"My mom Chandrika has always been a lifelong learner, extrovert and hobbyist. Her involvement with Silver Talkies is not only a testament to her zest for life but also to all the incredible effort that embodies the mission of Silver Talkies.

I prefer to learn more and grow further as a musician. I always find myself thinking about the next musical instrument to learn and master rather than joining any school as a teacher.
