Pension Awareness Week 2022

Pension Awareness Week is a time of the year where, for one week, the pensions industry comes together to provide free events, webinars and pension clinics to help members understand pensions and how to achieve the retirement they want. 

The aim is to boost people's engagement with their pensions.

Pension Awareness Week was originally designed back in 2014 by a group of pension experts who called themselves "The Pension Geeks". This group has come together with several other companies to offer free information about saving for the future.
