Elder Leadership Academy
The Elder Leadership Academy is at the heart of Celebrate Ageing Ltd. The Academy provides Fellowships to older people to co-lead projects challenging ageism and building respect for older people. The Fellowships move beyond the traditional approaches of representation, consultation, co-design and co-production - because we recognise older people have the knowledge, skills and passion to co-lead change.
The Academy offers Fellowships to older people (65+) to address issues of concerns to Celebrate Ageing and where resources can be identified. Read about our current and past Fellows and application process below.
