ProAge Becomes a Certified Social Enterprise UK Member — Strengthening Our Mission on Age Inclusion

We’re delighted to announce that ProAge is now a certified member of Social Enterprise UK, the national body championing organisations that use business as a force for good. This recognition reflects our commitment to advancing age inclusion, supporting older workers, and helping employers build stronger, more multigenerational teams.

As more organisations face skills shortages, knowledge loss and rising economic inactivity among over-50s, the need for practical, evidence-led support has never been greater. Becoming a certified social enterprise strengthens our mission and amplifies the work we do every day to help employers retain experience, improve collaboration, and create age-inclusive workplaces.

Why this certification matters

Social Enterprise UK certification confirms that ProAge meets the core principles of a genuine social enterprise:

• a clear social mission

• reinvesting the majority of surplus into impact

• operating transparently and ethically

• delivering meaningful benefits to people and communities

For our partners, it offers additional confidence that working with ProAge means working with a trusted, mission-driven organisation focused on long-term workforce resilience.

It also places us within a wider national movement of organisations committed to inclusion, innovation and social value — an ecosystem where age inclusion deserves a stronger voice.

Our work: helping employers build resilient, multigenerational teams

Across the UK, employers are grappling with skills gaps, high turnover, and the risk of valuable knowledge walking out of the door. ProAge supports organisations to address these challenges through:

• age-inclusive policies and practices

• strengthening multigenerational working and collaboration

• knowledge-transfer and succession planning

• flexible working pathways for experienced employees

• workforce resilience audits, tools and training

As a member-powered charity, our impact grows as more organisations get involved. If your organisation wants to lead on age inclusion and gain practical solutions that protect skills and improve delivery, we’d love to welcome you.
