During Pension Awareness Week, organisations from across the pensions industry hold free events, webinars, and pension clinics to help members understand pensions and how to achieve the retirement they want.
Pension Awareness Week - 9-13 September, 2024
The aim is to boost people’s interest in their pensions. Pension Awareness Week returns from 9 September 2024. Support ranging from webinars to toolkits will be available on the website and Pay Your Pension Some Attention.
You may be able to help a colleague, family member or friend by encouraging them to get in touch with their pension providers. If they have lost contact with a previous provider, help is available.
Or you may want to do something as simple as checking your state pension.
