Sponsor of the 2024 Positive Role Model Award for Age

"In 1969 the Open University (OU) was established with one ambition which changed the world-giving anyone, anywhere the power and opportunity to learn regardless of background or circumstance. The OU is globally respected as a leader in distance education achieving one of few Gold ratings awarded in the Higher Education 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework. Our mission statement, ‘open to people, places, methods and ideas’ places equity, diversity, inclusion and social justice at the heart of everything we do.

The OU knows what it means to be committed, to help, support and present opportunities to marginalised people, and to those who think opportunities ‘aren’t for them’. We are proud sponsors of the category Positive Role Model for Age-an award which honours an outstanding individual who has demonstrated selflessness, driven change and worked tirelessly to inspire others. The nominees in this category are exceptional for their age in their social justice advocacy and enabling others, pushing on for equity and opportunity often in the face of adversity.  These values are everything we strive for at The OU and we share in the delight and passion of the National Diversity Awards in celebrating and shining a spotlight on such incredible beings."
